Water is considered an acid because it releases hydrogen ions?
Water has a neutral PH value of 7 and is neither acid or base (alkaline). Since water can be represented by HOH, if we try ro argue that water is ab acid because it releases hydrogen ions, we can also argue that water is a base because it releases OH ions.
