Specially in case of laws penal, they ought to have care, that that which was meant for terror, be not turned into rigor; and that they bring not upon the people, that shower whereof the Scripture speaketh, Pluet super eos laqueos; for penal laws pressed, are a shower of snares upon the people.
An acid (from the Latin acidus/acÄre meaning sour) is a chemical substance whose aqueous solutions are characterized by a sour taste, the ability to turn blue litmus red, and the ability to react with bases and certain metals (like calcium) to form salts.Aqueous solutions of acids have a pH of less than 7.n water each of these essentially ionizes 100%. The stronger an acid is, the more easily it loses a proton, H + . Two key factors that contribute to the ease of deprotonation are the polarity of the HâA bond and the size of atom A, which determines the strength of the HâA bond.
Bases are typically less reactive and violent than acids. They do still undergo many chemical reactions, especially with organic compounds. A common reactions is saponificiation: the reaction of a base with fat or oil to create soap.leaning products like bleach and ammonia are bases. Chemicals that are acidic or basic are an important part of chemistry. Several different theories explain what composes an acid and a base. The first scientific definition of an acid was proposed by the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in the eighteenth century.
