Solution

The true statement about acids is: "acids release hydrogen ions in solution".

Here's why:

  1. Acids do not have a pH value above 7. In fact, they have a pH value below 7. So, this statement is false.

  2. Acids do not turn red litmus blue. They turn blue litmus red. So, this statement is also false.

  3. Acids typically do not react with other acids. They usually react with bases. So, this statement is false as well.

  4. Acids do release hydrogen ions in solution. This is a fundamental characteristic of acids. So, this statement is true.
