ACID
- It is defined as the substance which release H+ ions ( hydronium ion) when dissolve in water.
- Sour in taste
- Turn blue litmus → red
- Conduct electricity (in aqueous solution)
- Release H₂ gas with metals
- Neutralize bases to form salt + water
- Acids show properties only in aqueous solution
- H⁺ ions do not exist freely → form H₃O⁺ (hydronium ions)
- Strength depends on ionization, not concentration.
