A compound that transfers hydrogen ions to water is an acid. When an acid dissolves in water, it donates protons (H⁺ ions), increasing the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution. This process results in a lower pH, indicating a more acidic environment. Common examples of acids include hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄).
