How does the acid make electricity?

Answer 1

Theoretically acids are defined as a proton (+) donors "or electron acceptors (-)" So Acids is (+) positively charged in chemical reaction, like (lead acid battery). Morad Assem. moradassem@hotmail.com

Answer 2

If I am not mistaken, the question should be written as "How does an acid make electricity?"

An acid is defined as a compound that, when dissolved in water, performs greater hydrogen ion reactions than pure water. This is indicated by a solution having a pH greater than 7.0.

When a flow of electrons occurs, the term "electricity" can be given.

An acid cannot "make" electricity. It can, however, act as a medium through which electrons can flow. Since in a dissolved acid, there are ions in water, electrons are not locked or bound to the molecules of the acid. They are, instead, able to flow freely. Therefore, if one were to place a severed piece of a simple electrical system into an acidic solution, they would observe a restored flow of electrons.

As well, a Voltage could potentially be found between two different acids, however, there would not be a flow of electrons from one solution to the other due to proper electron distribution between the acids.

Answer 3

In an acidic environment, electrochemical reactions occur between electrodes and the acid, leading to the movement of ions and the generation of electricity. The acid serves as an electrolyte, allowing for the flow of ions between the electrodes, which creates a potential difference and generates electrical energy.
