Wikipedia
An acid (from the Latin acidus/acēre meaning sour) in common usage is a substance that tastes sour, reacts with metals and carbonates, turns blue litmus paper red, and has a pH less than 7.0 in its standard state. Examples include acetic acid and sulfuric acid. Acid/base reactions differ from redox reactions in that there is no change in oxidation state.
