Summary Introduction

Introduction:

An acid is a substance which produces hydrogen ions $\left({\text{H}}^{+}\right)$ when it is dissolved in water. Acids are of two types, weak and strong acids.

Strong acids completely dissociate in water, whereas weak acids partially dissociate in water. The relative strength of acids depends upon how fast ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ions are produced from acids.
