The general chemical formula for an acid?

Answer 1

For inorganic acids: [H][anion].

Answer 2

The general chemical formula for an acid is HX, where H represents a hydrogen atom and X represents a nonmetallic element. Acids are substances that release hydrogen ions (H+) in solution, leading to the characteristic sour taste and ability to react with bases to form salts. Examples include hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4).
