SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the nature of H+ ions and their classification as acids. It establishes that H+ ions, when generated from heated hydrogen gas in a plasma state and separated using a polarized magnetic field, can react with hydroxide ions to form water, thus exhibiting acidic behavior. The conversation also highlights the unique characteristics of H+ ions, such as their net electric charge, which differentiates them from traditional acids like hydrochloric acid (HCl). Furthermore, it raises questions about the storage and interaction of protons with container materials, suggesting potential corrosive effects similar to those of conventional acids.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of plasma physics and ionization processes.
  • Knowledge of acid-base chemistry, specifically the role of H+ ions.
  • Familiarity with magnetic fields and their effects on charged particles.
  • Basic principles of chemical reactions, particularly acid-base reactions.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of plasma and ion separation techniques.
  • Study the behavior of H+ ions in various chemical environments.
  • Explore methods for safely storing and manipulating charged particles.
  • Investigate the corrosive effects of acids on different materials.
USEFUL FOR

Chemists, physicists, and materials scientists interested in the properties of ions, plasma behavior, and the implications of acidic reactions on materials.

TL;DR
What happens when hydrogen atoms loses their sole electron?
If we heat up hydrogen gas in a sealed container to tens of thousands of degrees Celsius (via microwave or other radiation) , until the nucleus and electrons start to separate from each other, which becomes plasma. Then use a polarised magnetic field to separate the protons and electrons. Where electrons are attracted by the positive end, and protons get attracted by the negative end. Last we put a barrier in the middle to separate them. As they cool down, the protons can be defined as H+ ions.
I heard acids are these ions in chemical compounds like HCl (hydrochloric acid), but can just those H+ ions alone be acid? They have the ability to react with hydroxide ions and form water.

I guess you could say it is acidic, but your substance has a net electric charge. Regular acidic substances do not. How would you store these protons? What do you think happens when they collide with the molecules in the container?
 
Charged particles are easy to be held by a magnetic field... but I guess they will stole the electrons of the materials of the container when they contact, and I think that is similar to the process of an acid corrodes a material.
