Aqueous solutions of acids contain H+ ions, while aqueous solutions of bases contain OH− ions and conduct electricity.
Acids turn blue litmus red and generally taste sour, whereas bases turn red litmus blue and generally taste bitter.
Acids donate or produce H+, whereas bases accept protons or produce OH−.
📌 In the reaction , HCl is the proton donor and acid, while H2O is the proton acceptor and base.
