The donor of H ions is acid and the acceptor of H ions is base. So HCl is an acid and OH- that accepts an H ion and converts to water is a base.

How is a acid and a base different?
An acid has more H+ ions than OH- ions, while a base has more OH- ions than H+ ions.
What makes acid a acid and a base a base?
If the substance produces Hydrogen ions when it is dissolved in water, then it is an acid. If it produces Hydroxide ions when it is dissolved in water, then it is a base.
What contains more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions a base or an acid?
Acid.
Does a acid produce oh-ions?
acid produces H+ ions base produces OH- ions
How can you know if something is a acid or base if you only have the molecular formula?
base Give OH ions and acid gives H ions
What is acid what is base?
An acid is a sour substance which has Hydrogen (H^+) ions in it. A base on the other hand is bitter and has Hydroxide (OH^-) ions in it.
What will produce the most hydronium ions in an aqueous solution?
Strong acid > Weak acid > weak base > strong Base. Will produce the most hydronium ions to the least hydronium ions.
Positive ions from a base and negative ions from an acid form a what?
A salt
What contains greater OH- ions an acid or a base?
base
Is solution with four times as many hydronium ions hydroxide ions a acid base or a neutral?
acid
Is HCL an acid base or is it neutral?
Acid. It contains hyrdonium ions more than hydroxide ions.
Is HBr a salt acid or base?
HBr is an acid. It gives hydroxonium ions and bromide ions when dissolving in water.
