A substance that donates a proton in a chemical reaction is called an acid.
According to the Brønsted-Lowry theory, acids are proton donors, and they increase the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) in a solution.
The strength of an acid is measured by its ability to donate protons, which is quantified by its pH level. Interestingly, some of the strongest acids, like sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), are so reactive that they can even dehydrate sugar, turning it into a black, carbon-rich substance in a dramatic chemical reaction!
