Specially in case of laws penal, they ought to have care, that that which was meant for terror, be not turned into rigor; and that they bring not upon the people, that shower whereof the Scripture speaketh, Pluet super eos laqueos; for penal laws pressed, are a shower of snares upon the people.
An acid (from the Latin acidus/acÄre meaning sour) is a chemical substance whose aqueous solutions are characterized by a sour taste, the ability to turn blue litmus red, and the ability to react with bases and certain metals (like calcium) to form salts.Aqueous solutions of acids have a pH of less than 7.n water each of these essentially ionizes 100%. The stronger an acid is, the more easily it loses a proton, H + . Two key factors that contribute to the ease of deprotonation are the polarity of the HâA bond and the size of atom A, which determines the strength of the HâA bond.
A strong acid is one that completely ionizes (dissociates) in a solution. In water, one mole of a strong acid HA dissolves yielding one mole of H + (as hydronium ion H 3 O +) and one mole of the conjugate base, A â .Essentially, none of the non-ionized acid HA remains.he strength of an acid also depends on the solvent basicity (tendency to accept a proton), so that acids which are strong in water may be weak in less basic solvents, and acids which are weak in water may be strong in more basic solvents.
