weak acid
because it donates a proton making it an acid and does not completely disassociate making it weak
No it cannot donate blood
An acid is a proton donor (H+ Donor) So if the Cation has a proton to donate (a H+) it is acidic. An acid is a proton donor (H+ Donor) So if the Cation has a proton to donate (a H+) it is acidic.
Because it may accept the proton but can not donate the 'OH-' ion.
Acids are proton donors.
it acts as a proton acceptor
molecules in water that release hydrogen ions (H+) are acids, while molecules in water that release hydroxide (OH-) are bases. In water solutions, acids affect water molecules, producing hydronium (H3O+) and bases also affect water molecules, producing hydroxide (OH-) ions.
Assuming the Brønsted-Lowry definition of acids and bases, an acid is a molecule that donates a proton. While all atoms -- and therefore all molecules -- contain protons, not all are capable of donating them. Those that cannot donate a proton are not considered an acid under this terminology.
Acids donate protons to solutions. HCl H + The proton donated. and Cl -

A proton donor is a molecule that donates it's protons to other molecules.
1. all hydrogen molecules have one proton and 0 1 or 2 electrons depending on the isotope
Acids are proton donors.
it acts as a proton acceptor
It is a strong monoprotic base. Monoprotic means it can accept a proton (and Bronsted-Lowry theory calls proton acceptors BASES) So yes it can accept 1 (mono) proton. Strong acids or bases dissociate completely in aqueous solutions. Therefore this strong monoprotic base would dissociate completely into component ions in solution (this case water) yielding Na+, OH- and H20 (and heat).
According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, anything that donates H+ (or protons) atoms to a solution is an ACID. Hence this defines an acid as a proton donor and a base as a proton acceptor.
