Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a disturbance in organismal or cellular homeostasis caused by the chemical structure of the anion portion of a dissociated acid (rather than the acid acting as a proton donor). The acid chemical may be in gaseous, liquid or solid form. [GOC:aa, GOC:BHF, GOC:go_curators, GOC:rl, PMID:10615049, PMID:19170886, Wikipedia:Acid]
