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.
However, the currently more 'correcâ¦t definition' of an acid is the Bronsted-Lowry definition which states that an acid is a substance which donates protons (i.e. hydrogen ions). Carbonic acid, as the name implies, is an acid which can ionise in aqueous solution to form bi-carbonate ions and hydrogen ions. In other words, carbonic acid ionises in solution to give up a proton (hydrogen ion) and produce bi-carbonate ions.
