Answer
Acids have a sour, tart taste, react with metals such as Zn and Mg, react with compounds containing Hydroxide ions (good proton acceptors to form water and a salt).
Bases have a bitter taste, feel slippery, reacts with an acid to form water and a salt, and can from strong or weak electrolytes in aqueous solution.
