Acids and Bases Introduction

Ah, so you want to learn about acids and bases. Good news... I can't help you, unfortunately, because I just started learning about them myself. However, I do have a BASIC understanding... haha.

Anyways, the acidity of an acid BASICally refers to the concentration of H+ ions contained in the solutions. The higher the H+ concentration, the more acidic it is, and the more terrifying. 

The same goes for bases but with OH- Ions instead. 

When a strong acid is dissolved in water, it heats up. 

In some cases, Acids produce H+ ions, but in other cases when reacted with certain bases, they form conjugate pairs
