(n.)
One of a class of compounds, generally but not always distinguished by their sour taste, solubility in water, and reddening of vegetable blue or violet colors. They are also characterized by the power of destroying the distinctive properties of alkalies or bases, combining with them to form salts, at the same time losing their own peculiar properties. They all contain hydrogen, united with a more negative element or radical, either alone, or more generally with oxygen, and take their names from this negative element or radical. Those which contain no oxygen are sometimes called hydracids in distinction from the others which are called oxygen acids or oxacids.

Base Equilibrium--Condition in which the net rate of acid or alkali production by the body is balanced by the net rate of acid or alkali excretion from the body, resulting in a stable concentration of hydrogen ions in the body fluids
| TOXICOLOGY |
A substance with one or more hydrogen atoms that are readily replaceable by electropositive atoms. It is a donator of protons. In aqueous solution, it will undergo dissociation with the formation of hydrogen ions. It has a pH of less than 7.0.
Acid Definition from Science & Technology Dictionaries & Glossaries
| Oil and Gas Field Glossary |
Any chemical compound containing hydrogen capable of being replaced by positive elements or radicals to form salts. In terms of the dissociation theory, it is a compound which, on dissociation in solution, yields excess hydrogen ions. Acids lower the pH.
| ETSI and 3GPP |
Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability (X.860)
| Electrochemistry Dictionary |
A compound that dissociates to produce hydrogen (H+) cations when dissolved in water. See also pH.
| Glossary of water terms |
a substance that has a pH of less than 7, which is neutral. Specifically, an acid has more free hydrogen ions (H+) than hydroxyl ions (OH-).
| Technical English by wpv |
Literally hitter, but chemically the state of a water solution containing a high concentration of hydrogen ions.
| Physical Geography Terms and Meanings |
(1) Substance having a pH less than 7. (2) Substance that releases hydrogen ions (H+).
| Telecom Terms |
Atomicity-Consistency-Isolation-Durability
| General Chemistry Glossary |
Compare with base .Because a free H+ ion is technically a bare proton, acids are sometimes referred to as "proton donors" because they release hydrogen ions in solution. The term "proton donor" is misleading, since in aqueous solution, the hydrogen ion is never a bare proton- it's covalently bound to a water molecule as an H3O+ ion. Further, acids don't "donate" protons; they yield them to bases with a stronger affinity for them.
Acid Definition from Business & Finance Dictionaries & Glossaries
| Glossary of petroleum Industry |
any chemical compound, one element of which is hydrogen, that dissociates in solution to produce free-hydrogen ions. (See ion.) For example, hydrochloric acid, HCI, dissociates in water to produce hydrogen ions, H+, and chloride ions, Cl-. This reaction is expressed chemically as HC@-H + + Cl-. (See dissociation.)
Acid Definition from Society & Culture Dictionaries & Glossaries
| Environmental Engineering (English ver.) |
(1) Corrosive substances with pH of less than 7.0; acidity is caused by high concentrations of hydrogen ions. (2) Chemicals that release hydrogen ions (H+) in solution and produce hydronium ions (H3O+). Such solutions have a sour taste, neutralize bases, and conduct electricity. (3) Term applied to water with a pH of less than 7.0 on a pH scale of 0 to 14.

Acid Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
| Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia |
In computer science, ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) is a set of properties that guarantee that database transactions are processed reliably. In the context of databases, a single logical operation on the data is called a transaction.
An example of a transaction is a transfer of funds from one account to another, even though it might consist of multiple individual operations (such as debiting one account and crediting another).

An acid (often represented by the generic formula HA [H+A-]) is traditionally considered any chemical compound that, when dissolved in water, gives a solution with a pH less than 7.0. That approximates the modern definition of Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted and Martin Lowry, who independently defined an acid as a compound which donates a hydrogen ion (H+) to another compound (called a base). Common examples include acetic acid (in vinegar) and sulfuric acid (used in car batteries). Acid/base systems are different from redox reactions in that there is no change in oxidation state. Generally, acids have the following properties:
- Taste:Acids often taste sour
- Touch: Strong or concentrated acids often produce a stinging feeling on mucous membranes
- Reactivity: Strong acids react aggressively with or corrode many metals
- Electrical conductivity: Acids, while not usually ionic compounds, are electrolytes
- Acids turn moist blue litmus paper red
