Properties of Acids and Bases

Question 7 • *26-27 CFISD TX-Chemistry A CR

Which of the following best defines an acid?

Answer
A
An acid has a pH of 7.
B
An acid has hydroxide ions.
C
An acid has fewer positive ions in solution.
D
An acid has more hydrogen ions in solution.

Explanation

Acids increase the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) in a solution. A pH of 7 is neutral, and hydroxide ions are associated with bases, so those definitions do not describe an acid. The best choice is “An acid has more hydrogen ions in solution.”
