What is the concentration of hydrogen ions commonly expressed as?
The concentration of hydrogen ions is commonly expressed as pH.
How is the pH scale shifted by the use of hydrogens ions?
pH is a measure of Hydrogen concentration pH = -log10[H+], where [H+] is the concentration of hydrogen ions. From this equation, we can see that an increase of hydrogen ions will lower the pH, and a decrease of hydrogen ions will raise the pH. =D
What is the role of hydrogen ions in the conversion of ADP to ATP?
it is caused by the hydrogen ion flow across the membrane.
what is a solute that dissociates to release hydrogen ions and causes a decrease in pH?
A solute that dissociates to release hydrogen ions and causes a decrease in pH is an acid. To be more specific it is an Arrhenius acid and a Bronsted Lowry acid.
What name is given to substance the decrease the concentartion of hydrogen ions in solution?
A base
What is a solute that dissociates to release hydrogen ions and causes a decrease in pH is?
acid
When an acid ionizes in water what happens to the number of hydrogen ions?
the number of hydrogen ions (charges) given by the acid will be the same as the anions
What kind of solution will dissociate to release hydrogen ions and cause a decrease in pH?
A dissociated acid release hydrogen cations.
What change will be caused by addition of a small amount of HCl to a solution containing fluoride ions and hydrogen fluoride?
The concentration of fluoride ions will decrease and the concentration of hydrogen fluoride will increase.
What happens to the Ph when acids release hydrogen ions in water?
it decreases
How does CO2 decrease the pH?
Adding water does not always decrease pH. pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions, also called hydronium ions. They are inversely related. More hydrogen ions means a lower pH. A base has a pH greater than 7 (neutral) because it has an increased amount of hydroxide ions which causes a lower amount of hydrogen ions. Adding more water to a base solution causes the concentration of the hydroxide ions to become less, thus due to equilibrium, causing the hydrogen ion concentration to increase. This does cause pH to become less ... decrease. But an acid solution does the exact opposite when water is added. It already has a large concentration of hydrogen ions, but as water is added the concentration decreases and this causes pH to increase.
are potassium and hydrogen ions secreted at rates that vary inversely?
Yes, so if one increases the other will decrease.
