Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, Acids contain Hydrogen ions (H+) and bases contain Hydroxide ions (OH−).
Detailed explanation-2: -Any solution with more H+ than OH-is said to contain free H+ ions and is acidic. The definition of an acid is: “A substance with free hydrogen ions (H+) in solution.” Acids have a pH < (less than) 7.
Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, acids contain H+ ions and bases contain OH-ions.
Detailed explanation-4: -An acid is a substance or compound that releases hydrogen ions (H+) when in solution. In a strong acid, such as hydrochloric acid (HCl), all hydrogen ions (H+), and chloride ions (Cl-) dissociate (separate) when placed in water and these ions are no longer held together by ionic bonding.
Detailed explanation-5: -An acidic solution has a high concentration of hydrogen ions (H +start superscript, plus, end superscript), greater than that of pure water.
