Acids dissolve things because they are highly reactive chemicals that can break down other substances through a chemical reaction known as acid-base reactions. Acids have a low pH, which means they have a high concentration of hydrogen ions. These hydrogen ions are highly reactive and can bond with the atoms of other substances, breaking them down and dissolving them. This process is known as ionization, and it is how acids dissolve things.
