If you add hydrochloric acid to water what effect would it have on the H plus concentration on the pH?

Hydrochloric acid is HCl. It is a H plus (H^+) donor, and so adding it to water will INCREASE the H^+ concentration. Increasing the H^+ concentration results in a DECREASE in pH.

If you add hydrochloric acid to water what effect would this have on the Hydrogen ion concentration?
Increases greatly
Can entropy effect osmosis?
In a nutshell, yes. The water will go from a higher concentration to a lower concentration to increase the entropy of the lower concentration area. The increase in entropy of the lower concentration area would be greater than the loss of entropy of the higher concentration giving you a NET increase in total entropy.
Why would it not be safe reacting potassium and hydrochloric acid?
Because acids and bases react very strongly. You can look for reaction of potassium with water - and imagine that hydrochloric acid is much stronger than water.
What would happen if sodium hydroxide was mixed with hydrochloric acid?
Of course, the concentration matters in terms of total energy released, but you do get an energetic reaction in which the acid and the base neutralize each other, producing water and salt (sodium chloride) as well as heat. The solution could be heated to the boiling point by such a reaction. The balanced chemical equation would look like this: NaOH (sodium hydroxide) + HCL (hydrochloric acid) = NaCl (salt) + H2O (water)
What acid would you add to potassium hydroxide to make potassium chloride and water?
Hydrochloric Acid
If you add hydrochloric acid to water what effect would this have on the Hydrogen ion concentration?
Increases greatly
Which would you expect to have a greater influence on the effect of a solution in natural water concentration or solubility?
The concentration; to prepare a solution the compound must have a solubility.
Effect on H concentration in a solution in base?
a base would decrease the ph or hydrogen concentration
Can entropy effect osmosis?
In a nutshell, yes. The water will go from a higher concentration to a lower concentration to increase the entropy of the lower concentration area. The increase in entropy of the lower concentration area would be greater than the loss of entropy of the higher concentration giving you a NET increase in total entropy.
Describe how water moves during?
From areas of higher concentration (of water) to lower concentration (of water) - ie it fills the space. That would mean that it would flow from a solution whose concentration of solute is higher to one where the solute concentration is lower.
What is it called when water molecules move from a low concentration of solutions to a high concentration of solutes?
Osmosis. A solution with a low concentration of solutes would have a higher concentration of water than a solution with a high concentration of solutes. So in this case, water is moving from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, which is osmosis.

What gas is the most important?
This depends on what you mean by important. For instance chlorinated fluorocarbons at a given concentration have an effect thousands of times that of the same concentration of Carbon dioxide. Fortunately their concentration is very low. On the other hand water vapor has a lower effect than an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide but its concentration is very high (not surprising since two thirds of the earth's surface is water) so with the current composition of the earth's atmosphere water vaporhas the greatest effect. However the concentration of water vapor varies with the temperature and is not directly affected by human activities. If we were to increase the level of water vapor in the atmosphere and leave everything else unchanged, the water vapor would fairly quickly condense out as rain, snow, frost or dew and there would be no lasting effect on global temperaturesCarbon dioxide comes second after water vapor and its concentration in the atmosphere is heavily affected by burning of fossil fuels. As the CO2 concentration increases, the temperature of the atmosphere increases, as does its ability to hold water vapor. So an increase in CO2 results in an increase in water vapor and a further increase in temperature. Because CO2 does not condense out it has a lasting effect which is amplified by the ensuing increase in water vapor.
Which base is to be added to neutralise the effect of hydrochloric acid?
Sodium hydroxide would do. NaOH + HCl -> NaCl + H2O Neutralization reaction producing salt ( common table salt ) and water.

What effect would it have on the value of the concentration of sodium hydroxide if the conical flask contains some distilled water before the addition of potassium hydrogenphthalate?
the conentration will be increased.
