Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bases are substances that accept hydrogen ions (protons) and have a pH greater than 7. Acids, on the other hand, donate hydrogen ions and have a pH lower than 7. Buffers help maintain a stable pH in a solution, while salts are formed when an acid and base react and neutralize each other, resulting in the formation of an ionic compound.
