A n is a substance that either contains hydroxide ions OH- or reacts with water to form hydroxide ions?
Bronsted-Lowry's BASES are a substance that either contains hydroxide ions OH- or reacts with water to form hydroxide ions.
A substance that releases OH plus ions in solution is a?
acidic
What is a substance that produces OH ions in solution is a?
a base
What defined an acid as a substance that produces H plus ions in solution and a base as a substance that produces OH- ions in solution?
The Bronsted Lowry definition.
Which ion cause alkalinity?
Alkaline are hydroxides of metals like sodium,potassium and a base substance that accepts protons such as hydroxide ion (OH -) - a negative ion. As a negative ion it accepts the positive ions of H+ and all metals with positive ions to neutral and produce salt and water.
What is a substance containing molecules and ions?
Water: H2O molecules, H+ and OH- ions
What is an acid an alkali and neutral?
Acid: A substance that can donate H+ ions. Alkali: A substance that can donate OH- ions. Neutral: A substance that cannot donate H+ or OH- ions.
What is and acid?
Acid: A substance that can donate H+ ions. Alkali: A substance that can donate OH- ions.
What is acid and allkaline?
Acid: A substance that can donate H+ ions. Alkali: A substance that can donate OH- ions.
What makes an Alkaline an Alkaline?
The presence of OH- ions makes an substance alkaline. When dissolved in solution, the substance should be able to liberate OH- ions.
Why do all substances containing OH- ions are considered as bases?
The definition of an Arrehnius base is an ionic compound that contains more OH- ions than H+ ions when dissolved in water. The Bronsted-Lowry (more general) definition of a base is any substance that readily recieves protons. OH- ions very easily recieve protons (H+) to become H2O.
A n is a substance that either contains hydroxide ions OH- or reacts with water to form hydroxide ions?
Bronsted-Lowry's BASES are a substance that either contains hydroxide ions OH- or reacts with water to form hydroxide ions.
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.
What is the name of a substance that produces OH- ions in a solution?
If a substance produces OH- ions in a solution, then it is called a 'base' or 'alkali' or basic salt.
What substance increases the number of OH?
A substance that increases the concentration of hydroxide ions in solution (OH-), is referred to as an Arrhenius base.
What is the substance that produces hydroxyl ions when dissolved in water is a?
If a substance produces hydroxyl ions (OH-) when dissolved in water, it is referred to as a BASE.
A substance that releases OH plus ions in solution is a?
acidic
