Acids, bases & ph level
Acid:
A substance that releases hydrogen ions when in solution; a proton donor.Acids have a sour taste and can react with many metals.
Base:
A substance capable of binding with hydrogen ions; a proton acceptor. Bases have a more bitter taste than acids, they feel slippery, and are proton acceptors- they take up hydrogen. Ions in detectable amounts.
pH:
The relative concentration of hydrogen ions in various body fluids is measured in concentration units called pH units. It is the measure of the real active acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The more hydrogen ions in a solution, the more acidic the solution is and the lower the pH. And vise-versa.
