1. Aqueous solutions of acids are (electrolytes, nonelectrolytes), meaning that they conduct an electrical current. Some acids are (weak, strong) electrolytes because they ionize completely in water, yielding a great many ions. Other acids are (strong, weak) electrolytes that exist primarily in a non-ionized form when dissolved in water. 2. Acids have a (sour, bitter) taste. Lemons, vinegar, and sour candies all contain acids. 3. Acids change the color of certain acid-base indicators. Two common indicators are litmus and phenolphthalein. Blue litmus turns (red, blue, colorless) in the presence of an acid, while phenolphthalein turns (colorless, red, blue).

Which statement is TRUE for an acid-base neutralization reaction? The reaction will take place if two ions combine to form an insoluble product. The driving force is the formation of a salt as a product. An acid-base reaction is an example of a single-displacement reaction. An acid and a base combine to form a salt and water.
