Answer:

An acid is a chemical that dissolves in water and when dissolved in water it gives a solution with H+ ions. A base is an aqueous compound that gives electrons, take in protons and the release OH- ions. Acid on the pH scale is 7.0 and below and base on the pH scale is 7.0 and anything else above.
