use complete sentences to differentiate between acids and bases on the basis of their behavior when dissolved in water. give an example of each type.

answer:

step-by-step explanation:

acids react with water by donating an h+ ion to a neutral water molecule to form the h3o+ ion.

hcl(g) + h2o(l) < > h3o+(aq) + cl-(aq)  

acid   base        

bases react with water by accepting an h+ ion from a water molecule to form the oh- ion.

nh3(aq) + h2o(l) < > nh4+(aq) + oh-(aq)

base   acid      

acids always want to give out/produce hydrogen ion

bases always want to receive/accepting hydrogen ion
