45.2: Introduction

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Acids contribute hydrogen ions (H+) into a solution during a chemical reaction, making them proton donors.  Bases contribute hydroxide ions (OH) into a solution during a chemical reaction or bond with a proton making them proton accepters.  Phenol solution turns yellow in acidic solutions and remains red in basic solutions.  There are many indicators that a chemical reaction has occurred, including color change.
