∙ 7y agoAcidity involve a pH over 7,00.
pH is the inverse of the logarithn of the activity of hydrogen cations in the solution.
pH is an essential notion in chemistry and also many natural processes depends on pH.

If the hyrdoxide ion concentartion increases what happens to the hydrogen ion concentration?
The Hydrogen ion concentration decreases. Remember that these two ion concentrations are inversely proportional, in formula: [H+].[OH-]= 1.0*10-14 or pH + pOH = 14.
Why the acidic character increases with the decrease in pH?
The acidic character increases with decrease in pH because the pH and acidity are both dependent on the hydrogen ion concentration, with pH being the negative log of the hydrogen concentration. So, at the concentration of H+ increases, the negative log of the H+ concentration decreases.
What is the difference between pH and hydrogen ion concentration?
The pH value of a particular solution is equivalent to -log[hydrogen ion concentration].
How does the concentration of hydrogen ions vary with pH?
pH is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration. So lowering pH from 5 to 4 means a ten times increase in hydrogen ion concentration. Increasing pH by 1 results in decreasing hydrogen ion concentration to 1/10th its former level.
What is the pH solution defined as what of the hydrogen ion concentration?
The pH is a measure of the activity of the ion H+ in a solution.
What happens to the hydrogen ion concentration as you decrease the pH?
Hydrogen ion concentration increases.

What happens to the pH As the hydrogen ion concentration increases?
as the pH increases in acids, the acids lose their ability to ionise in water, so less hydrogen ions are produced. so stronger acids, like hydrochloric acid with a low pH, produce more hydrogen ions than weaker acids, like ethanoic acid with a high pH.
Why the acidic character increases with the decrease in pH?
The acidic character increases with decrease in pH because the pH and acidity are both dependent on the hydrogen ion concentration, with pH being the negative log of the hydrogen concentration. So, at the concentration of H+ increases, the negative log of the H+ concentration decreases.
How is a change in hydrogen ion concentration reflected in the pH?
pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration; so an increase in hydrogen ion concentration give a reduction in pH. A reduction in hydrogen ion concentration causes an increase in pH.
What makes pH go up and down?
pH tells us the hydrogen ion (H+) ion concentration. The lower the number - the greater the number of hydrogen ions. Adding hydrogen ions decreases pH (and increases acidity) removing them (eg by adding hydroxide OH-) increases pH.

The hydrogen ion concentration increases.
When the ocean absorbs CO2 the pH of the ocean water rise What is the effect of this process?
The hydrogen ion concentration increases.
When the ocean absorbs co2 the pH of the ocean water rises what's the effect of this process?
The hydrogen ion concentration increases.
When the ocean absorbs CO2 the pH of the ocean water drops. what's the effect of this process?
The hydrogen ion concentration increases.
As hydroxide ion concentration increases the Ph will increase or decrase?
As hydroxide concentration increases pH increases
