Basic solution
Yes, basic solutions can have (aq) ions. Basic solutions typically contain hydroxide ions (OH-) which can dissociate in water to form aqueous ions. The presence of these hydroxide ions increases the concentration of hydroxide ions in the solution, making it basic.
One example of a chemical containing hydroxide ions is sodium hydroxide, which has the chemical formula NaOH. When dissolved in water, sodium hydroxide dissociates into sodium ions (Na+) and hydroxide ions (OH-). Hydroxide ions are strong bases and can react with acids to form water and a salt.
Basic solutions are solutions that have more than a 1E-7 concentration of hydroxide ion. Thus, solutions with "extra" hydroxide ions are basic. On the other hand, solutions with extra hydrogen (hydronium) ions are acidic.
Base solutions have more hydroxide ions (OH-) than hydrogen ions (H+). This is because bases release hydroxide ions when they dissolve in water, increasing the concentration of OH- ions in the solution.
Sodium hydroxide and ammonia are basic solutions because they are both alkalis that release hydroxide ions in water, increasing the concentration of hydroxide ions and raising the pH above 7.
Lye, containing hydroxide ions, is a base. Bases are substances that release hydroxide ions (OH-) in water solution.
A substance that produces hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions is called a base. When dissolved in water, bases release hydroxide ions (OH-) which can accept hydrogen ions (H+) to form water. Examples of bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).
A solution with a pH greater than 7 will contain more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions. These solutions are considered basic or alkaline. Examples include solutions of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH).
Silver (Ag) does not dissolve in hydroxide (OH) solutions. While silver can form complexes with certain ligands, it is generally considered insoluble in most basic solutions, including those containing hydroxide ions. Instead, silver typically forms precipitates, such as silver hydroxide (AgOH), in the presence of hydroxide.
Hydroxide ions are represented by the chemical formula OH-. In aqueous solutions, they can also be denoted as [OH]-.
The pH of a solution is related directly to its concentrations of hydronium ions(H3O^+) and hydroxide ions(OH-). Acidic solutions have more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions. Neutral solutions have equal numbers of the 2 ions. Basic solutions have more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions.
No, an acidic solution does not contain hydroxide ions. Acids donate protons (H+) in solution, while hydroxide ions (OH-) are found in basic solutions.
