What is an Acid?[edit | edit source]

An acid is a chemical that gives off hydrogen ions in water and forms salts by combining with certain metals.

pH and Acidity[edit | edit source]

Acidity is measured on a scale called the pH scale.

On this scale, a pH value of 7 is neutral, and a pH value of less than 7 to 0 shows increasing acidity.
