Acids, Bases and Salts

The term Acids and bases definitely serve important functions both inside and outside the scientific laboratory. We are regularly being introduced with these terms since our lower classes. But what exactly are acids and bases are? And how, its knowledge seems crucial.
Let’s have a look on one example from our everyday life:
Suppose, if someone in the family is suffering from a problem of acidity after overeating, which of the following would you suggest as a remedy– lemon juice, vinegar or baking soda solution? And which property did you think of while choosing the remedy?
Surely, you must have used your knowledge about the ability of acids and bases to nullify each other’s effect.
 
Have a look on more such examples:
  • Some substances taste sour, some tastes bitter.
  • Tooth ache
  • Rusting of iron
  • We are asked to brush our teeth after meal.
 
Each case mentioned above is related with Acids, Bases and Salts.
But what actually acids/ Bases or Salts are? How they react with various substances? And how they are prepared?
