When acid is dissolved in water, it produces hydrogen ions (H⁺) and anions corresponding to the acid. This process increases the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution, which lowers the pH and makes the solution acidic. The specific anions formed depend on the type of acid being dissolved, such as chloride ions from hydrochloric acid or sulfate ions from sulfuric acid.
