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

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.

What is true of the hydroxide and hydrogen ions in a solution of pH 7?
At pH 7, the concentration of hydroxide and hydrogen (hydronium) ions is equal; both concentrations are equal to 10-7 mol/L.
What is the solution considered to be if it has an equal number of H and OH- ions?
A solution that contains equal concentrations of hydrogen and hydroxide ions is neutral. Water is the prime example.
What is the difference in the amount of hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion in the solution with pH7?
None. In a solution with a pH of 7 the hydrogen ion concentration is equal to the hydroxide ion concentration.
What information is necessary to determine the pH of a solution when you given hydroxide ion concentration?
You will need Kw to determine the concentration of hydrogen ions and You will need the formula pH = -log[H+]
A neutral solution has an equal numbe of?
A neutral solution has an equal number or concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. A neutral solution is one that has a pH of 7.0. Pure water is a neutral solution.
A solution containing equal numbers of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions is called what?
Technically it is called water because the positive hydrogen ions and the negative hydroxide ions would attract to form a compound with two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule. H2O. This occurs most often in acid-base neutralization reaction where water is a product of the reactions.
What is true of the hydroxide and hydrogen ions in a solution of pH 7?
At pH 7, the concentration of hydroxide and hydrogen (hydronium) ions is equal; both concentrations are equal to 10-7 mol/L.
What conclusion can be made about the proportion of hydroxide ions and hydrogen ions in a solution that has a pH of 7?
The conclusion that can be made about the portion of hydroxide ions and hydrogen ions in a solution that has a pH of 7 is that they are equal. The quantities pH + pOH, which are derived from the concentrations of hydroxide and hydrogen ions, will always have a sum of 14. The ratio of hydrogen and hydroxide in a single water molecule is 1:1.
What is the solution considered to be if it has an equal number of H and OH- ions?
A solution that contains equal concentrations of hydrogen and hydroxide ions is neutral. Water is the prime example.
What is the pH of 7 percent NaOH solution?
How to work it out - Calculate the concentration of the solution in terms of molarity. Calculate the hydrogen ion concentration from the fact that multiplying the hydrogen and hydroxide concentrations (in mols per litre) will always give 1x10-14. Take the -log10 of the hydrogen ion concentration.
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.
What is the difference in the amount of hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion in the solution with pH7?
None. In a solution with a pH of 7 the hydrogen ion concentration is equal to the hydroxide ion concentration.
What information is necessary to determine the pH of a solution when you given hydroxide ion concentration?
You will need Kw to determine the concentration of hydrogen ions and You will need the formula pH = -log[H+]
A neutral solution has an equal numbe of?
A neutral solution has an equal number or concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. A neutral solution is one that has a pH of 7.0. Pure water is a neutral solution.
The terms base and alkaline refer to solutions that hydronium hydroxide hydrogen?
hydroxide anion, OH-: alkaline solution hydrogen cation, H+; hydronium cation, (H3O)+: acidic solution
Are there are more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions?
In a solution with a pH higher than 7, there are more hydroxide than hydrogen ions.
What conditions must be met in order for an aqueous solution to be neutral?
The concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions are equal
