Which molecule represents an ion found in a glass of water?

OH- and H+


How do you measure for acidity or alkalinity?

acidity or alkalinity is a measure of the relative amount of H+ and OH- ions dissolved in a solution


Is a substance with equal numbers of H ions of OH - ions an alkaline solution?

No. If the number of H+ and OH- ions are equal then the solution is neutral. A solution is considered alkaline if it has more OH- ions than H+ ions.


Why does pH of medium rise when urea is hydrolyzed?

pH is the measure of H+ ions. The more the concentration of H+ ions, the less the pH value and the more the concentration of OH- ions and lesser the concentration of H+ ions, the more is the pH value.


What does substance's pH tell you?

Ph tells you how acidic/basic a solution is. It is a measure of the relative concentrations of H+ ions to OH- ions.


What does the pH scale measure the concentration of?

The pH scale is a Science indicator, Not a Mathmatical one :-)


What determines the strength of an acid and a base in water?

The concentration of dissociable H+ ions is a measure of the acidity of the substance. The concentration of dissociable OH- ions is a measure of the basicity of the substance.


What ions do the pH scale measure?

H is for Hydrogen. p[H] is a messurement for Hydrogen-ion koncentration and pH for the activity to be correct. the p is for the -log called anti-log (log=logarithm) meaning the exponent (number of the potense) of H ions. pH = -log [H+] or [H+] = 10-pH


Why some acids have OH ions?

Acids add Hydrogen Ions (H+) and not OH ions


How is a acid and a base different?

An acid has more H+ ions than OH- ions, while a base has more OH- ions than H+ ions.


Does a acid produce oh-ions?

acid produces H+ ions base produces OH- ions


What are the positive and negative ions for distilled water?

H3O+ and OH-
