When acids dissolve in water they release a proton - also called a H+ ion. So the answer is "a".

The level of acidity is due to H+ and level of alkalinity due to (OH)-. This is displayed in the equation pH=-log[H+] i.e. concentration of H+ ion.

Do acids dissolve in bases or do bases dissolve in acids?

They don't dissolve (or more properly, dissociate) completely in water, only partially. Acids or bases that dissociate completely are called strong acids or bases.


Is it true that plant roots produce weak acids that dissolves rocks?

Yes, plants roots release weak organic acids that can help dissolve minerals in rocks. This process, known as rhizosphere acidification, can contribute to the weathering of rocks and release of nutrients that plants can then absorb.


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.


What types of ions do acids release?

Acids release hydrogen ions (H+) when they dissolve in water. These hydrogen ions are responsible for the acidic properties of the solution, such as low pH and the ability to donate protons in reactions.

Acids or bases dissolve in water to produce H?

Acids dissolve in water to produce H+ ions, while bases dissolve in water to produce OH- ions. This process is known as ionization or dissociation, and it is a key characteristic of acidic and basic solutions.
