Acids
Acids are chemical compounds that release hydrogen ions (H⁺) when dissolved in water, resulting in a solution with a pH below 7. They are defined by their ability to donate hydrogen ions to other compounds (bases), a key characteristic that distinguishes them from redox reactions. Common examples include acetic acid (in vinegar) and sulfuric acid (used in car batteries). Acids are widely distributed in nature and industry—for instance, carboxylic acids like lactic acid and citric acid act as acidulants, antioxidants, and food additives, while fatty acids such as omega-3 and omega-6 support health functions.

FAQ
Q: How to ensure safe handling and storage of acids?
A: Store acids in corrosion-resistant containers away from bases and reactive materials. Always use personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves and goggles when handling. For concentrated acids, follow specific safety guidelines, and keep emergency neutralizers (e.g., baking soda for acid spills) nearby.
