One definition for an acid is an aqueous (water) solution containing hydrogen (or hydronium) ions. Not all acids fit this definition so the answer to this question has to be "no" because it is not entirely true. A Lewis acid might not even contain hydrogen. See Link.

Do acids lose or gain hydrogen ions?

Acids lose hydrogen ions when they donate them in a chemical reaction, making them stronger acids.


Acids are compounds that dissociate in water and release what?

Acids release hydrogen+ ions (H+) when dissolved in water


What type of ions do acids contain?

Acids typically contain hydrogen ions (H+). When acids dissolve in water, they release these hydrogen ions, which give acids their characteristic acidic properties.


How Most acids are sour and corrode metals.?

Most acids are sour and corrode metals.


Why some acids have OH ions?

Acids add Hydrogen Ions (H+) and not OH ions


Do acids release hydrogen ions?

yes they do and bases release hydroxide ions


Does acid or base contains hydrogen?

Acids release H+ ions. Therefore, Acids contain Hydrogen. Note: Bases contain OH- ions.


Which ion is furnished by acids in of agueous solution?

Acids in aqueous solution furnish hydrogen ions (H+). This is why acids are often referred to as proton donors, as they donate H+ ions to the solution.


Why might fatty acids amino acids and nucleic acids increase the hydrogen ion(h ) concentration of as solution?

Fatty acids, amino acids, and nucleic acids can increase the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution because they can release hydrogen ions when they undergo chemical reactions. For example, when fatty acids are broken down in metabolic processes, they can release hydrogen ions. Similarly, amino acids can release hydrogen ions when they lose their amino group. Nucleic acids can also release hydrogen ions when they are broken down into their constituent nucleotides.


What do acids release in water?

Virtually all acids release hydrogen ions (or protons) in water. They also release other ions, but these are specific to each acid. For example, hydrochloric acids releases an hydrogen ion (H+) plus a chloride ion (Cl-).


Do bases release or accept hydrogen ions?

Bases accept hydrogen ions, which results in the formation of hydroxide ions when dissolved in water. This reaction helps in neutralizing acids and results in an increase in the pH level of the solution.
