Answer:
According to bronsted theory...
~an acid is that compound which release H+ ions.
~and a base is that compound which releases OH- ions
...so the acid releases the H+ ions in water and water also have H+ ions .....so in water H+ ions conc. increases than OH- ions....so solution will be act as acid ...so we called it as acid
HA + H2O -------> H+ + A-
pH = -log [ H+]
as [H+] conc. increases smaller the pH value...which shows it is an acid.
