Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Acids are solutions with a pH less than 7. They have far more positively charged hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions.
Detailed explanation-2: -The overall concentration of hydrogen ions is inversely related to its pH and can be measured on the pH scale (Figure 1). Therefore, the more hydrogen ions present, the lower the pH; conversely, the fewer hydrogen ions, the higher the pH.
Detailed explanation-3: -substance that releases hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water; an acidic solution has a pH less than 7.
Detailed explanation-4: -1: The pH scale is a logarithmic scale based on the concentration of hydrogen ions. The higher the H+ ion concentration is, the lower the pH of the solution.
