WHAT DOES ACIDIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

acidic

Acid

An acid is a chemical substance whose aqueous solutions are characterized by a sour taste, the ability to turn blue litmus red, and the ability to react with bases and certain metals to form salts. Aqueous solutions of acids have a pH of less than 7. A lower pH means a higher acidity, and thus a higher concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution. Chemicals or substances having the property of an acid are said to be acidic. Common examples of acids include hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, sulfuric acid, and tartaric acid. As these examples show, acids can be solutions or pure substances, and can be derived from solids, liquids, or gases. Strong acids and some concentrated weak acids are corrosive, but there are exceptions such as carboranes and boric acid. There are three common definitions for acids: the Arrhenius definition, the Brønsted-Lowry definition, and the Lewis definition. The Arrhenius definition defines acids as substances which increase the concentration of hydrogen ions, or more accurately, hydronium ions, when dissolved in water. The Brønsted-Lowry definition is an expansion: an acid is a substance which can act as a proton donor.
