An acid emits a female charge (proton in Physics) or absorbs a male charge. We can say that acids are female.
An example is Hydrochloric acid (1-17) which dissociates in water into:
1(1♀)17(1♂)
This reacts with dissociated Sodium hydroxide 11(1♀) and 8-1(1♂) to create salt and water.
| Molecule | Component 1 | Component 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Sodium Hydroxide | 11(1♀) | 8-1(1♂) |
| Hydrochloric acid | 17(1♂) | 1(1♀) |
| = | = | = |
| Result | 11-17 or NaCl | 1(2)-8 or H2O |
The more females there are per unit, the stronger the acid. Common acids are:
| Name | Notation | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrochloric acid | 1-17 | Digestion |
| Nitric acid | 1-7-8(3) | Fertilizers |
| Carbonic acid | 1(2)-6-8(3) | Softdrinks |
Acids and Bases are extremely important in the physical aspects of Bio Superphysics since living things, especially humans, are mostly made up of water.
