In the 17th century, an Irish chemist called Robert Boyle used a taste test to identify acids and bases. He realised that acids feel sour and alkalis feel slippery on the tongue
The name acid comes from the latin word for sour - ‘acidus’
Corrosive means a chemical that will attack and destroy living tissue such as skin and eyes by a chemical action
Citrus fruits (lemons, oranges) contain citric acid
vinegar contains ethanoic acid
Tea contains tannic acid
Fizzy drinks contain carbonic acid
An ant sting contains methanoic acid
Stomach acid contains hydrochloric acid
Car battery acid contains sulfuric acid
vitamin C contains ascorbic acid
All acids contain the element hydrogen
