Definition: Acridity is defined as: - (a) An undesirable odor or taste; often from a substance that has been heated to a very high temperature. The word "acid" is used in this sense, as it refers to an unpleasant, sour taste produced by substances that have been heated and may include acids such as sulfuric acid and acetic acid. The term "acid" can also refer to the chemical compound that gives off these odors, such as acetic acid. These compounds often have a strong bitter or sour odor when they are dissolved in water. In more general terms, acridity refers to the unpleasant, unpleasant taste, smell, or color of a substance. It can be caused by different types of substances, including those that come from sources like burning wood or coal, or chemical reactions that produce them. For example, sulfuric acid is often used in paint and other products because it produces an unpleasant, sour odor when it dissolves.
