i) Acid: When an acid is dissolved in water, it will donate hydrogen ions (H+) to the water, making the solution more acidic. This can be measured using the pH scale, which ranges from 0 to 14, with lower numbers indicating a higher acidity.
ii) Base: When a base is dissolved in water, it will accept hydrogen ions from the water, making the solution more alkaline. This can also be measured using the pH scale, with higher numbers indicating a higher alkalinity.
