Igneous rocks are not an acid. Volcanic activity can release gases that can form acid on contact with water, including sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide which form sulfuric and carbonic acid respectively. Igneous rocks were once divided into classifications of "acidic" and "basic" based on the idea that differing properties were a result of differing amounts of silicic acid. This idea has been abandoned as we now know it is silica rather than silicic acid that plays a large role in the properties of igneous rock.
