Acids taste sour,
And bases taste bitter,
But don’t try to taste,
Unless you want blisters.
Lactic acid is in curd
And acetic acid in vinegar
Oxalic acid is in spinach,
And citric acid in citrus fruits.
Bases end with “Hydroxide”
Learn this side by side.
Potassium Hydroxide is in soap,
And Ammonium Hydroxide in window cleaner.
When you add an indicator,
Acid or bases change colours,’
Litmus is the famous of them all,
Even turmeric and china rose
When we mix bases and acids,
They affect each other,
They neutralise each other
And don’t even bother.
