What is a solution that contains more hydroxide than hydrogen?

It is a basic solution, pH above 7


When an acid solution is mixed with a basic solution?

When an acid solution is mixed with a basic solution, there will be a neutralization reaction in which hydrogen ions from the acid will combine with hydroxide ions from the base, to form water.


Does an acid contain one or more hydroxide ions?

An acidic solution contains many more H+ ions than OH- ions, and a basic solution has more OH- than H+. A pure water solution, which is neutral, has exactly equal number of each.


Why doesn't chlorine produce a basic solution when dissolved in water?

To make a basic solution, it has to contain available hydroxide ions. Chlorine doesn't, so it can't be basic.


The terms base and alkaline refer to solutions that?

the more hydroxide ions releases, the more basic the solution becomes. and the solution has more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions.


What ion found in a solution would it make it basic?

A hydroxide ion found in a solution would make it basic. Another name for a hydroxide ion is a hydronium ion. Acids would donate hydrogen ions.


Why is magnesium oxide basic?

Magnesium oxide is a base because it can produce hydroxide ions in solution. (The definition of a base by Bronsted-Lowry is that it is a proton (that is, a hydrogen ion, because hydrogen ions have no neutron and have lost their electron, so they are just left with a proton) acceptor. MgO+H2O ---- Mg+2OH Therefore, it produces hydroxide ions in solution.


Is sodium hydroxide solution neutral?

No. A sodium hydroxide solution is very basic.


How do the concentrations of hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion determine whether a solution is acidic basic or neutral?

A high concentration of hydrogen ion indicates that the solution is acidic, while a high concentration of hydroxide ion makes the solution basic. When the concentration of hydroxide ion is equal to hydrogen ion the solution is basic.


Is an aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide acidic or basic?

This solution is basic.


A solution that contains more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions is?

Basic or alkaline or greater than pH 7


An aqueous solution that contains extra hydroxide ions is?

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.
