Question

select the correct answer. which statement describes the acid found in vinegar (acetic acid)? a. it tastes bitter. b. it feels slippery. c. it changes red litmus paper to blue. d. it reacts with mg to produce h₂. e. it releases oh⁻ in a solution.

Explanation:

Acids taste sour, not bitter. Bases feel slippery. Acids turn blue litmus paper red, not the other - way around. Acids react with metals like Mg to produce hydrogen gas ($H_2$). Bases release $OH^-$ in solution, while acids release $H^+$ in solution.

Answer:

D. It reacts with Mg to produce $H_2$.
