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-


Which ion is the only positive ion produced by an acid in water?

The only positive ion produced by an acid in water is the hydronium ion (H3O+). This is formed when a hydrogen ion (H+) from the acid combines with a water molecule.
