An acid is defined as a substance that dissociates to lose hydrogen ions; however they typically react with positive ions to form salts e.g. some soaps are made from a large tri-acid gaining sodium ions.

What are -A ions?

The A- ion is the generic term for the conjugate base of an acid. The charge is balanced by an H+ ion. The identity and formula of this ion depends on the acid, for example, if the acid is acetic CH3CO2H acid, A- is the acetate ion or CH3CO2- If it is sulfuric acid (H2SO4) A- is the bisulfate ion HSO4-

What is the ionization of formic acid?

Formic acid, also known as methanoic acid, ionizes in water to form a hydrogen ion (H+) and a formate ion (HCOO-). The balanced equation for the ionization of formic acid is: HCOOH (formic acid) -> H+ (Hydrogen ion) + HCOO- (formate ion)
