Which of the following is not true regarding an acid?

a. can donate a proton (H+) to some other substance
b. can accept a proton (H+) from some other substance
c. releases hydrogen ions (H+)when dissolved in water
d. neutralizes hydroxide ions to form water

Respuesta :

The statement that is not true about an acid is B. can accept a proton (H+) from some other substance. This is because acid itself is a proton donor, thus there is no way it will also be an acceptor. A base is the proton acceptor. All the other choices are correct about an acid.
