What makes a solution acidic?
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.
In real picric acid is not acid..then why it called acid?
Picric acid is acidic, as it has a fairly acidic phenolic proton. However, picric acid is not a carboxylic acid. Nevertheless, it is still called 'acid' because of its acidic proton, just as phenol was once called 'carbolic acid'.
What does an acidic substance release?
Acids and bases have many definitions, but for your question, these will do: Bases are proton (H+) acceptors. Acids are proton (H+) releasers.
What has more hydrogen ions acidic or basic solutions?
A hydrogen ion is just a proton, H+. The pH of a solution depends on proton concentration, pH = -log of H+ concentration. Therefore, the greater the number of protons present in solution, the lower the pH number, and the more acidic the solution.
What colour does blue litmus paper turn when it is in aldehyde?
It doesn't change. The proton on the carbonyl carbon isn't acidic.
Why imides are more acidic than amides?
acidic proton
What makes a solution acidic?

Is proton a acidic or a basic radical?
Proton is an elementary particle containing quarks and gluons. Proton is not a radical.
Is a vinegar a acid or a base?
Vinegar is dilute acetic acid, which is an acid.

How do hydrogen ions give acidic character to acids?
Acids are proton donors. Since protons are H+ ions, an acid must have a proton to give away.
What ion is formed in an acidic solution?
A positive ion that releases a proton to water.
Why are negatively charged amino acids acidic?
Negatively charged amino acids are acidic bacause they gave a proton (H+) to the solution. The amino acid was not charged before it went into the solution, but lost a hydrogen when placed in water and became negativley charged. It also donated a proton to the solution so it is considered acidic. Similar logic applies with the basic amino acids.
Is nitrate acidic or basic?
It is basic, as it accepts a proton (Bronsted-Lowry base). It is the conjugate base of nitric acid.
What colour does blue litmus paper turn when it is in aldehyde?
It doesn't change. The proton on the carbonyl carbon isn't acidic.
