What makes a base is the presence of the hydroxide ion, the formula for which is OH-. In fact, the pOH of a base goes up as its pH goes down (pOH means "potential of hydroxide.")
Acid - High
Base - Low
Neutral - in between
The two ions found in high concentrations of acid are hydrogen ion(H+ ) and hydroxonium ion(H3O+).
pH refers to hydrogen parts the lower the hydrogen parts the more acidic a substance is the higher adversely relates to how alkaline or basic a substance is it is scaled from 1-14 i being the most acidic 14 being the most basic when the pH is high, then the concentration of Hydrogen(H+) ions is low
Acid solutions contain higher concentrations of hydrogen ions (hydronium ions).
Bases
Electrolytes that release ions that combine with hydrogen atoms are called bases.
Acids- they donate hydrogen ions to bases, which then become molecules.
Bases have a low concentration of hydrogen ions. In contrast, acids have a high concentration of hydrogen ions.
The two ions found in high concentrations of acid are hydrogen ion(H+ ) and hydroxonium ion(H3O+).
Bases accept hydrogen ions. Acids donate hydrogen ions.
The more acidic a solution is, the more hydrogen ions it gives off.
bases
Acidic solutions contain very high concentrations of hydrogen ions. In an acidic solution, then, the concentration of hydrogen ions is greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions.

acids are substances that release their hydrogen ion(s) while bases grab hydrogen ions to themselves. SO, adding acids will increase the H+ concentration while adding bases will decrease the H+ concetration of the solution. This would be considered a direct effect.
Yes, strong bases have a greater ability to accept hydrogen ions from water than weak bases.
Acid solutions contain higher concentrations of hydrogen ions (hydronium ions).
