When NaH is added to water the hydroxide concentration increases what can you include about NaOH?

The premise of this question is incorrect. When NaOH is added to water the hydroxide concentration increases. NaOH is a base. If a substance decreases hydroxide concentration it would be an acid.


Which ion increases in concentration when strong acid is added to water?

the excess hydronium reacts with hydroxide in water to form more water and reduce the amount of hydroxide present.


Does acid increase the hydroxide ion concentration of water?

application of cyclotron


What has a high concentration of hydroxide ions?

Any solution that has a pH level higher then seven is going to contain the higher concentrations of hydroxide. The gastric acid located in the stomach has very high concentrations of hydroxide.


What is any compound that increases the number of hydroxide ions when dissolved in water?

a base


Are hydronium ions contributed to a solution by a base or acid?

Acids have more hydronium than hydroxide. Bases are the reverse of that.


The strength of acid is based on the concentration of ions?

hydroxide


What ion increases in concentration when a strong acid is added to water?

H3O+ (or just H+)


Is benzoic acid soluble?

Benzoic acid is soluble in water, as are all acids, by definition. An acid is a chemical which, when dissolved in water, increases the concentration of H+ ions.


If you add hydrochloric acid to water what effect would this have on the Hydrogen ion concentration?

Increases greatly


Which ion increases in concentration when a strong base is added to water?

As a general rule of thumb, for acid solutions [H+] > [OH-], for basic solutions [H+] < [OH-], and for neutral solutions or for pure water [H+] = [OH-] This is the answer but can someone explain it to me?


What salt is made when sodium hydroxide reacts with hydroxide acid?

There is no reaction. "Hydroxide acid" is water, which does not react with sodium hydroxide.
