Lets get terms straight. Acids 1. donate protons or 2. accept electron pairs. This means that in the process the acid molecule either becomes a negative ion or becomes less positive by one +charge. ...

Why doesn't the vapour pressure exceed the external pressure as boiling begins?

Above boiling a liquid's point (B.P.), the vapor in the bubble absolutely does increase above ambient pressure, or the bubble could not have pushed away the liquid, creating that void. However, that ...
