Acid and Base

Accepted Answer

Acids are substances that donate protons, while bases are substances that accept protons. In water, acids produce hydronium ions (H3O+), while bases produce hydroxide ions (OH-). The strength of an acid or base is measured by its pKa or pKb value, respectively. The lower the pKa or pKb, the stronger the acid or base.
