The simple answer is H+ ions (hydrogen ions). Because the element hydrogen is made up of a proton an an electron, a positive hydrogen ion is just a proton.
The two theories of acid-base are the 'Arrenhius Theory' and the 'Bronsted-Lowry Theory'. Arrenhius theory says that an acid is a substance which produce hydrogen ions in solution. The Bronsted-Lowry theory says that an acid is a proton donor.
This is a huge topic in physical chemistry and this is just a basic explanation of what an acid is. There are strong acids and weak acids, strong bases and weak bases etc.

When sodium carbonate solution is added to benzocaine what is the gas that evolves?
Because the reaction mixture contains a small amount of sulfuric acid, the sodium bicarbonate will neutralize the solution and in the process, will produce CO2.
Vinegar is a weak solution of what?
Vinegar is a weak solution of acetic acid.
A small amount of acid is added to a buffer solution the pH of the solution will?
A small amount of acid is added to a buffer solution. The pH of the solution will stay about the same.
A solution that is a 4 on the pH scale is a?
A solution which has a pH lower than 7 is a acid.
How do you calculate the strength of 1 M HCl?
The strength of an acid is the extent to which it is dissociated into ions in dilute solution, and cannot be calculated from a molarity, which is a measure of concentration, not strength. Hydrocholoric acid is a strong acid. It is completely dissociated in I M solution.
Acetic acid is what type of acid?
Acetic acid is a weak acid because it only ionises to a minimal extent in solution to produce hydrogen ions.CH3COOH CH3COO- + H+By definition, a weak acid is a substance which only ionises to a minimal extent in solution to produce hydrogen ions. A strong acid, is a substance which ionises completely in solution to produce hydrogen ions.
How can you differentiate a acid solution from a salt solution using magnesium ribbon?
The magnesium will produce bubbles of hydrogen gas in the acid solution. It may do this in the salt solution, but not as much.
Is vinegar with milk produce acid?
an acidic solution, yes. this is because vinegar is acid
Why wouldn't CH3COOH an acetic acid be considered an Arrhenius acid?
It does not produce H+ ions in solution.
How much pure acid must be added to 12 ounces of a 40 percent acid solution in order to produce 60 percent acid solution?
6 ounces
What is CH3COOH plus H2O?
It would produce a solution of acetic acid.
Bubbling ammonia into a solution of bromic acid will produce what salt?
Ammonium Bromate
Can copper chloride react with sulfuric acid to produce blue salt solution?
Yes, the solution is blue.
What will produce the most hydronium ions in an aqueous solution?
Strong acid > Weak acid > weak base > strong Base. Will produce the most hydronium ions to the least hydronium ions.
What kind of acid would be produced by mixing hot water sugar and bleach?
None. This solution would not produce an acid.
Will HCl produce an acidic solution when dissolved in water?
Yes, HCl is a strong acid.
What is a compound that adds H ions from a solution?
an acid dissolved in water produce H+, a base dissolved in water removes H+ Question wording is unclear what process is meant.
