higher hydrogen ions= more acidic
Bases have a low concentration of hydrogen ions. In contrast, acids have a high concentration of hydrogen ions.
The acids all contribute hydrogen ions to the solution.
Acids have a pH level below 7 while bases have a pH above 7. The chemical difference between acids and bases in the hydrogen ion concentration[H+]. Acids have a higher concentration of hydrogen ions while bases have a higher hydroxide ion concentration[OH-]
they have more ions than oter acids
The strength of acids and bases is most often indicated by the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution. This is called the pH.
Acids increase the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
Bases have a low concentration of hydrogen ions. In contrast, acids have a high concentration of hydrogen ions.
Hydrogen ions
The acids all contribute hydrogen ions to the solution.
The acids all contribute hydrogen ions to the solution.
Acids have a pH level below 7 while bases have a pH above 7. The chemical difference between acids and bases in the hydrogen ion concentration[H+]. Acids have a higher concentration of hydrogen ions while bases have a higher hydroxide ion concentration[OH-]
they have more ions than oter acids
These compounds are acids.
The strength of acids and bases is most often indicated by the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution. This is called the pH.
H plus ion concentration can be decreased by adding base to the solution. The reduction can also be done by accepting hydrogen ions.
Did you notice that all three of the names have "acid" in them? Perhaps you should ponder what that word means.
as the pH increases in acids, the acids lose their ability to ionise in water, so less hydrogen ions are produced. so stronger acids, like hydrochloric acid with a low pH, produce more hydrogen ions than weaker acids, like ethanoic acid with a high pH.
