Hello everybody,

I need to write in English the following:

ácido + base = sal + agua

acid + ?? = salt + water

Than you.

This is a really difficult one:

It is base in English too (to rhyme with face)

That's what I guessed, but I was not sure. Thank you (which rhymes with 'u').

Awaken, why do you say riddle?
