What contains more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions a base or an acid?
Acid.
Is HCL an acid base or is it neutral?
Acid. It contains hyrdonium ions more than hydroxide ions.
A solution of a base differs from a solution of an acid in that the solution of a base contains what?
contains hydroxide ions.
An aqueous solution that contains more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions is a acid?
No, it's a base
Are acid base neutral substances?
No, they are not. An acid is acidic in nature which means it has more H+ ions than OH- ions. But a base is basic in nature which means that it contains more no. of OH- ions than H+ ions.

What causes citric acid to be an acid?
An acid is a substance with high levels of H+ ions. The higher the concentration of H+ ions, the greater the pH, thus more acidic. Citric acid, therefore, contains a surplus of unbonded H+ ions and that makes it an acid.
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.
What makes acid a acid and a base a base?
If the substance produces Hydrogen ions when it is dissolved in water, then it is an acid. If it produces Hydroxide ions when it is dissolved in water, then it is a base.
Does a acid produce oh-ions?
acid produces H+ ions base produces OH- ions
The substance containing many OH ions is a?
A substance conatianing OH ions is an alkali, however it can also be knows as a base (a substance that neutralises an acid).
Describe a base and an acid in relation of H ions?
The donor of H ions is acid and the acceptor of H ions is base. So HCl is an acid and OH- that accepts an H ion and converts to water is a base.
A compound that contains hydroxide ions is an?
acid
