What is a common use of bases? as a component of vinegar as a component of car batteries to make foods tart to reduce indigestion

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Vinegar is an acid, so it can't be a use of a base.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Car batteries also contain acid, not base

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Acids taste sour, bases taste bitter

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Indigestion is usually caused by too much acid in the stomach, so taking a base would help neutralize the extra acid.
