Acids ionize can dissolve in water it will lower the pH levels. This is does in many things to keep pH levels lower.

Does acid dissolve in water?

This depends on how strong the acid is and whether or not it is polyprotic (or has more than 1 Hydrogen) But in general: In water, acids dissolve into the hydronium ion (H3O+) and the conjugate base. The hydronium ion is just an access proton, or Hydrogen (H) without the electron, making it a positive (H+). For example: Hydrochloric acid (a strong, monoprotic acid, formula = HCl) in water looks like: HCl + H20 ---> H3O+ + Cl- Cl- is the conjugate base of HCl. H3O+ has the access H+ ion from the acid.


What best describes how weak acids or weak bases dissolve in water?

Weak acids and weak bases partially ionize when dissolved in water unlike strong acids and strong bases that completely ionize when dissolved. Ethanoic acid is a weak acid. At any one time, only about 1% of the ethanoic acid molecules have converted into ions. The rest remain as simple ethanoic acid molecules.


Do acids dissolve in bases or do bases dissolve in acids?

They don't dissolve (or more properly, dissociate) completely in water, only partially. Acids or bases that dissociate completely are called strong acids or bases.


What do most bases do in solution considering that most acids ionize in solution?

dissociate


Do weak acids react faster with magnesium metal than strong acids?

No they do not. Strong acids can ionize with metal faster because they have a higher concentration


All acids ionise in water to give?

All Arrhenius acids ionize in water to give H+ ions. While Lewis acids are proton donors.


Which solutes when dissolve in water will ionize and form a solution that conducts electricity?

An ionic compound. Because an ionic compound is made up of ions that either carry or donate electrons


Ionize in water to release hydrogen ions and a negative ion other that hydroxide?

Acids


What is strong about strong acid?

Strong acids are referred to as such because they ionize completely in water, forming hydronium ions and the conjugate base of the acid. On the other hand, weak acids only ionize partially, and usually remaining as whole acid molecules.


Acids or bases dissolve in water to produce H?

Acids.
