==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Acidity]] is the strength of an [[acid]] determined by how easily [[Hydrogen Ion (Chemistry)|hydrogen ions]] are formed when the [[acid]] [[dissolve]]s in [[water]].

===About Acidity===
: When a [[compound]] does [[dissolve]] in [[water]] to produce an [[acid]] not all of the [[Hydrogen Ion (Chemistry)|Hydrogen ion]]s will dissociate from the [[compound]].
: The strength of an [[acid]], or its [[acidity]], is determined by how easily [[Hydrogen Ion (Chemistry)|Hydrogen ions]] are formed.
: The more easily [[Hydrogen Ion (Chemistry)|Hydrogen ions]] form, the stronger the [[acid]] (the higher the [[acidity]]).
