    Acid and alkali have some similarities and differences. Both are corrosive but only show their properties when dissolved in water. Their main differences are in taste, how they affect litmus paper, their pH values, and how they react with reactive metals. Acids are sour and turn red litmus paper red, have a pH below 7, and do not react with metals. Alkalis are bitter and turn blue litmus paper blue, have a pH above 7, and release hydrogen gas when reacting with metals.
