Then it becomes water:
OH- + H+ --> H2O
They just 'love' each other.
The opposite reaction only takes part for 1 out of 10 million molecules: that's why pH of water is 7.0
(and so H+concentration is 10-7)

What substance produces hydroxide ions in solution?
All bases, or proton receivers. The definition of a base is that it either introduces hydroxide ions into solution because hydroxide ions are part of the compound, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or that it takes a proton (Hydrogen cation) away from water in solution, therefore forming a hydroxide ion from it (H2O ---> OH- ion)
What happens in a bronsted lowry acid-base reaction?
An acid donates an H+, and a base accepts an H+. - Apex
What happens to the hydronium ion concentration if you increase the hydroxide ion concentration?
Nothing
What happens to the hydroxide ion concentration in water when a base is added?
No. A base decreases the amount of hydronium, and increases the amount of hydroxide.
How can bicarbonate be a weak base if it doesn't contain hydroxide ion?
The bicarbonate ion is a base because it's a proton acceptor, that being one of the definitions of a base.
When a hydroxide ion oh - accepts a proton h plus?
Dihydrogen monoxide
When a hydroxide ion accepts a proton?
A proton is also an ionized hydrogen atom, let us remember. So, a negatively charged hydroxide ion plus a positively charged proton gives us a neutral water molecule.
When a hydroxide ion accept a proton?
H2o
What is basic substances?
There are three definitions. A substance that produces hydroxide (OH-) ions in water. A substance that accepts a proton (H+ ion). An electron pair donor.
How many protons are in hydroxide ion?
The hydroxide ion is OH-. There is one proton in a hydrogen atom and eight in an oxygen atom. Therefore, there are 9 protons in a hydroxide ion.
A substance that accepts a proton?
In terms of chemistry, a proton is an ionized hydrogen atom, H+. These are released by acids, and they are bound by the hydroxide ion, OH- which in combination with the hydrogen ion turns into a water molecule, H2O. Hydroxide ions are released by a base such as NaOH. The reaction between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions is the neutralization reaction between acids and bases.
What molecule loses a proton to form the hydroxide ion?
water
When does water act as a base and an acid?
molecules in water that release hydrogen ions (H+) are acids, while molecules in water that release hydroxide (OH-) are bases. In water solutions, acids affect water molecules, producing hydronium (H3O+) and bases also affect water molecules, producing hydroxide (OH-) ions.
What substance produces hydroxide ions in solution?
All bases, or proton receivers. The definition of a base is that it either introduces hydroxide ions into solution because hydroxide ions are part of the compound, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or that it takes a proton (Hydrogen cation) away from water in solution, therefore forming a hydroxide ion from it (H2O ---> OH- ion)
What kind of substance accepts an electron pair hydroxide ion alkali base acid?
A Lewis acid accepts an electron pair.
What happens when sodium hydroxide is placed in water?
When Sodium Hydroxide (Lye, or NaOH) is dissolved, it separates into Na+ and OH- ions. The hydroxide ion, (OH-) is considered a base. Another definition of Acids and Bases is: An Acid is a proton donor (+ ion) such as: H30+ --> H+ + H2O. A base is a proton acceptor (- ion) such as: H+ + OH- --> H2O.
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.
