When acids dissolve in water, they produce a sour taste. When acids are chemically detected with specific indicators, they yield specific colors as a result. When an acid reacts with a metal, it liberates hydrogen gas, and when it reacts with a base, it forms salts. Acidic solutions have a pH value of less than 7 . Common examples of acids include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, citric acid, nitric acid, and acetic acid. There are mainly two types of acids: strong acids and weak acids . Strong acids ionize almost completely in water, whereas weak acids do not. Let’s look at the three strongest acids in the world.
