What are the basic of classifying an acid?

In: Acids & Bases [Edit categories]

Answer:

The pH scale is a measure of how much Hydrogen ion [H+] is in a solution. The scale extends from 0-14; pH ranges between 0-6 are acidic solutions, 8-14 are basic, and a pH of 7 is neutral.

An acid can be defined as a proton donor, a chemical that increases the concentration of hydronium ions in solution.

acid: generates [H⁺] in solution

acid: anything that donates a [H⁺] (proton donor)

acid: accepts an electron pair
