Lemon juice is an example of an acid, containing citric acid, which gives it its sour taste. Acids are substances that release hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water, which lowers the pH of the solution. Citric acid is a weak organic acid found in citrus fruits like lemons and oranges. Acids have a wide range of uses, from food flavoring to cleaning and industrial applications. Their ability to donate protons (H+) makes them essential in many chemical reactions, including digestion and energy production in living organisms.
