Question

What is the general name of aqueous compounds where hydrogen is a cation?

Answer 1

Acids are the general name of an aqueous compounds where hydrogen is a cation.

An acid is a compound or ion which has ability to donate
`H^(+)` ion or proton. When acid is dissolved in aqueous solution, then it is capable for donating proton or
`H^(+)` ion.

General equation in aqueous solution:

`HA\rightarrow H^(+)+A^(-)`

HA is an acid which dissociates into
`H^(+) (cation) and A^(-) (anion)`.

Thus, general name is acid.
