When NaOH is dissolved, if forms separate ions which cancel charge to make a neutral SOLUTION. Hope to have clarified this misunderstanding.

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.


Is sodium hydroxide solution neutral?

No. A sodium hydroxide solution is very basic.


What does a base produce when dissolved in water?

When bases dissolve in water, they usually form alkaline solution. An alkaline solution has a pH that is more than seven.


Which acid and base is used to make salt potassium carbonate?

Neither, it is a salt. Dissolved in water it has a pH of 7 (neutral).


Is KBr an acid?

KBrO3 is potassium bromate which is made from KOH (potassium hydroxide) and bromic acid (HBrO3). The salt will have an alkaline (basic) pH >7 when dissolved in water.


What charge does a molecule have?

Solute molecules can be positively charged, negatively charged, or neutral. For example, dissolving sodium chloride in water produces positively charged sodium cations and negatively charged chloride anions. Dissolving sucrose (table sugar) in water produces only dissolved neutral sucrose molecules.


Sodium hydroxide is it neutral?

No - it is very basic (alkaline)


Is hydroxide ion a anion or cation?

it is neutral ion


What is the charge on a solute molecule surrounded by a hydration shell of water?

Solute molecules can be positively charged, negatively charged, or neutral. For example, dissolving sodium chloride in water produces positively charged sodium cations and negatively charged chloride anions. Dissolving sucrose (table sugar) in water produces only dissolved neutral sucrose molecules.


What is a neutral solution acid or base?

Sodium Hydroxide is basic.


What is pH pure water (neutral)?

pure water is neutral with a pH of 7


What happens to the paricles of sugar when a sugarcube is dissolved in water?

the sugar particles turn into ions which attach to the polar molecules of water Each sugar molecule does not become an ion. Each sugar molecule is charge neutral and thus has no charge. When sugar is dissolved in water, the water pulls the sugar molecules apart from each other and the individual sugar molecules no longer touch each other. Each sugar molecule is surrounded by water. The forces between molecules are responsible for this. The polar shape of water molecules is what governs the separation.
