A compound which can react with acids to form salt and in water solutions yields hydroxyl ions is called what?
A base
Hydroxyl ions have how many electron?
The electrical charge of the hydoxyl ion is -1.
What is the mechanism of alkaline denaturation of dna?
Adding hydroxyl ions will deprive protons from DNA molecules that are needed to form a hydrogen bridge bond.
What is a soulution that contains equal number of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions?
A neutral solution.
What is any water-soluble compound that is also a non-electrolyte?
Anything that hydrogen bond with the water molecules makes it water soluble, such as alcohols. Ethanol is water-soluble because its hydroxyl group bonds with the water molecules. It is not an electrolyte because it does not form ions when in a solution. Electrolytes form ions when they are in water. For example, sodium chloride is an electrolyte because it dissociates into its cation and anion when in water.
What donates hydroxyl ions?
Dissociation of a base produce hydroxyl ions.
How do hydroxyl ions and hydronium ions affect pH?
As the concentration of hydronium ions (H+ ions) increases or as the concentration of hydroxyl ions (OH- ions) decreases, the pH of the solution decreases
How does pH vary with hydronium and hydroxyl ions concentrated in water?
The meaning of more hydroxyl ions is a higher pH.
A compound which can react with acids to form salt and in water solutions yields hydroxyl ions is called what?
A base
In bases you find hydroxyl ions which have?
A hydroxyl ion has the electrical charge -1.
What is the substance that produces hydroxyl ions when dissolved in water is a?
If a substance produces hydroxyl ions (OH-) when dissolved in water, it is referred to as a BASE.
How is the concentration of hydroxyl ions affected when excess base is dissolved in a solution sodium hydroxide?
The concentration oh hydroxyl ions (OH)- is increased.
What chemical releases hydroxyl ion in a solution?
Bases releases hydroxyl ions in a solution.
What is the difference between hydroxide ions and hydronium ions?
Their are hydroxyl ions not hydroxide ions. They are OH- . hydronium ions are H3O+ . Presence of hydroxyl ionsin a compound shows its basic nature whereas presence of hydronium ions in a compound shows its acidic nature .
Does a lemon have hydroxide ions?
No, lemon is acidic in nature so it does not have hydroxyl ions.
What is found in a glass of water?
If the water is pure, it will contain H3O+ ions and OH- ions. They are hydronium ions and hydroxyl ions.
Is a basic solution expected to contain more hydrogen ions than hydroxyl ions?
More hydroxil ions.
