One definition of an acid is a molecule that can donate a H+ ion. So for example if you have an acid such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) in water, HCl will donate it's H+ to the H2O molecule, forming Cl- and H3O+.
In contrast, a base is a molecule that accepts H+ ions. This means a base such as NH3 reacts with H2O to form OH- and NH4.
So when pH is measured, it is the ratio of H3O+ ions to OH- ions. If there are more H3O+ ions, you then know that there are more acidic molecules in the solution, since they must be giving away their H+ ions.
So a solution with an acid in it will have more H3O+ ions (which can be described as H+ ions) in it. However, an acid by itself will have nothing to donate H+ ions to.

Answer:
Their amount is not consistent at all parts of the atmosphere
Explanation:
Carbon dioxide and water vapor exists as variable gases in the atmosphere because their amount varies from one part to the other.
- The abundance of variable gases is influenced strongly by activities from the surface.
- This variability occurs a result of the contribution from from life activities on the surface.
- Also, due to properties of the gases, they are not evenly distributed.
- At certain altitudes, the amount of water vapor can be low.
Answer:
The atomic numbers of four elements A, B, C, and D are 6,8,10, and 12 respectively. The two elements which can react to form ionic bonds (or ionic compounds) are B (8= 2,6) and D (12 =2,8,2). So D donates its two electrons to B to fulfill their octet.
Explanation:
Answer:
solute is that we disolve in solvent
solvent is in which we dissolve solute
