Question

Lien made this table to organize her notes on the properties of acids and bases.

A 2-column table with 2 rows. The first column labeled acids has entries conduct electric current, taste bitter. The second column labeled bases has entries feel slippery, react with lipids.

Which property is in the wrong column?

conduct electric current
taste bitter
feel slippery
react with lipids

Answer 1

The property that is in the wrong column is "taste bitter." This property should be associated with bases, as bases typically have a bitter taste. Acids, on the other hand, are known for their sour taste. Therefore, the correct categorization should have "taste bitter" in the bases column instead of the acids column.
