An acid is __________. View Available Hint(s) An acid is __________. a solution with a pH between 7 and 14 any compound with a pH a material that resists changes in the pH of a solution a compound that donates hydrogen ions to a solution any compound that accepts hydrogen ions

Answer 1

Answer:

An acid is a compound that donates hydrogen ions to a solution

Explanation:

This is the Bronsted-Lory theory where the acids are compounds which donates H+ to others while basis are compounds that donates OH-.

HCl  +  H2O →  Cl-  +  H3O+

In Lewis's theory, acids accept e- while basis donates them.

In Arrhenius theory, acids are the compounds that has H in its formula while basis has OH
