• ionise in water

• give off Hydrogen 1+

• most compounds that begin with "H" are acids

What is an acid?

A chemical dissolved in water is aqueous. This splits up the compound

All of these are aqueous (except H2O, because it's already the liquid in question - water)

HCl ➝ H+ & Cl-

H2O ➝ H+ & OH-

H X - X would be an anion

1. HCl

   1. Chloride ➝ Hydrochloric Acid

2. HNO2

   1. Nitrite ➝ Nitrous Acid

3. HNO3

   1. Nitrate ➝ Nitric Acid

4. H2SO4

   1. Sulfate ➝ Sulfuric Acid

   2. sometimes the name changes a little. deal with it (if it sounds natural it's probably fine)
