Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Acids have a sour taste, bases have a bitter taste and a slippery feel. Acids donate hydrogen - ions, bases accept them. Both acids and bases can conduct electricity in solution because they dissociate into ions.
  2. Water has a pH of 7. Acids have a pH less than 7, so they have a lower pH than water. Acids are more conductive than pure water as they dissociate into ions. Acids are more corrosive than water.
  3. Red litmus paper turns blue in a basic solution.

Answer:

  1. C. Electrical conductivity
  2. C. Acids have a lower pH than water
  3. A. The fluid is a base
