Answer:

Explanation: Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) Hydrochloric acid is the strong acid which is found inside our body in the gastric juice. It helps in the breakdown of all the potatoes and pizzas we eat and turns down the enzymes, which change the food particles into protein.LSD is made by creating a fungus on seeds of rye or morning glory. A hallucinogenic drug, capable of changing the way people look at, think about, and experience the world around them. The power of this drug makes it popular, as does its portability.

An acid is a chemical species that donates protons or hydrogen ions and/or accepts electrons. Most acids contain a hydrogen atom bonded that can release (dissociate) to yield a cation and an anion in water. The higher the concentration of hydrogen ions produced by an acid, the higher its acidity and the lower the pH of the solution.

The word acid comes from the Latin words acidus or acere, which mean "sour," since one of the characteristics of acids in water is a sour taste (e.g., vinegar or lemon juice).
