congrats on reading the definition of Acidity. now let's actually learn it.
Acid Strength: Refers to the tendency of an acid, symbolized as HA, to dissociate into a proton, H+, and an anion, A-.
Hydronium Ion Concentration [H3O+]: The amount of hydronium ion in a solution determines its acidity level.
pKa Value: It's another way chemists talk about acidity; lower pKa values mean higher acidity.
