For an acid, the more Hydrogen (H+) Ions the compound releases in an aqueous solution it, the higher its pH correct, question is now, why is it that acids only break up into their elements in a aqueous solution? For a base, the more Hydroxide ions it releases (OH-), the lower the compounds pH. So in order for an acid or base to be corrosive, their has to be water present? And why is it that when you mix both a Base and Acid, they neutralize e/o and form a salt, and if the acid was stronger, does that make the salt more acidic, and the other way around?
