acidic
nah man. them acids has them lot. the H+ ions that is. but these basic solutions donate a massif amount of OH- ions compared to H+ ions when added to an aqueous solution.
The Bronsted Lowry definition.
pH depends on ions H+ or OH-.
Milk of magnesia is a solution of magnesium hydroxide (a white powder) in water. It is a base because when the powder is introduced into water, it partially dissociates (breaks up) into magnesium (Mg2+) and hydroxide (OH-) ions. Pure water contains an equal number of OH- ions and another ion called hydronium ions (H3O+). Because the milk of magnesia adds OH- ions to the water, there are now more OH- ions than H3O+ ions. This means you have a base. On the opposite end, if there are more H3O+ ions than OH- ions, which happens when you add vinegar or lemon juice to water, you have an acid. Hope that makes sense!
In pure water, they are equal.
Neutral.
Na+ and Cl- are spectator ions.
No, acids do. Bases produce OH- ions
This is called 'neutral' as in pure water, pH=7.00
Neutral solutions.
acidic
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.
H plus and OH negative are ions of hydrogen and hydroxide in their dissolved states. When a compound is broken down, it is broken down into it's ions, which will each have a charge.
A Neutral solution
This is the definition of a base.
HOH or H2O is water.
