In an acid (pH <7) it should be the hydronium ion: H+ or H3O+
In a base (pH >7) it should be the hydroxide/hydroxil ion: OH-

Ph scale is around 0 to?
Scale from about 0 to about 14: Low is acid, 7 (middle) is neutral, High is base ( alkaline)
What is a mixture that is high in concentration and low in concentration?
A very strong Acid --- or Base-. A pH=7 reading means an equal concentration of H+ and OH-. A pH reading of say 1 shows a very high concentration of H+ with an exceedingly low concentration of OH-.
What is in fruits that in a high concentration determines the tartness of a tangerine?
Citric Acid in fruits in a high concentration determines the tartness of a tangerine.
What organic acid occurring in low concentration is essential to human but is highly dangerous when humans are exposed to high concentration of it?
The first one that comes to mind is hydrochloric acid, which is essential to digestion.
If a solution has a high concentration of hydronium ions what type of chemical do you think it would be?
Such a chemical must be a strong acid.
What has a greater concentration of acid pH 5 or pH 3?
pH 3 the lower down the scale the high the the concentration of acid the higher up the higher concentration of alkali's.

Which term defines an acid?
One term that defines an acid is that it has high concentration of H+ (Hydrogen ions). Another term that defines an acid is that it has a high concentration.
What is the difference between strength and concentration in terms of an acid or base?
Strength: how strong the bonds between the elements in the acid are. (the stronger the bonds the harder it is for the hydrogen ions to dissociate (break away) from the acid. Concentration: moles per liter. if there's a lot of the acid in a small amount of space there's a high concentration. just because the concentration is high, that doesn't mean the acid wouldn't easily break up.
What is the pH scale?
The pH scale represents the relative concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The concentration of hydrogen ions is commonly expressed in terms of the pH scale. Low pH corresponds to high hydrogen ion concentration and vice versa. A substance that when added to water increases the concentration of hydrogen ions (lowers the pH) is called an acid. A substance that reduces the concentration of hydrogen ions(raises the pH) is called a base. Finally some substances enable solutions to resist pH changes when an acid or base is added. Such substances are called buffers. Buffers are very important in helping organisms maintain a relatively constant pH. The pH scale is a scientific classification of how acidic or basic a substance is. The scale ranges form 0 to 14 -- a pH reading of 7 is neutral in nature , a pH less than 7 is acidic in nature and a pH greater than 7 is basic in nature.
When you add water to acid what forms?
When H2O is added to acid it begins to boil due to the strong reaction between the acid and the Base (the water). Don´t add H2O to acids add acid to water. Water is both an acid and a base, when it is reacting with acid it becomes base and reacts with base it becomes acid.
Is lye an acid or base?
Lye is a very strong base with a pH of 13.
Is a solution of ph2 a weak acid?
Not necessarily. A solution that has a pH of 2 can have a low concentration of a strong acid or a relatively high concentration of a weak acid.
Why is Ketchup considered an acid?
Ketchup contains a high concentration of vinegar (acetic acid) and as such is an acidic product in itself. Furthermore, the tomato itself from which the ketchup is made is considered to be an acidic fruit when measured on a Ph scale.
What ions are in a high concentration in a base?
OH-
What is in fruits that in a high concentration determines the tartness of a tangerine?
Citric Acid in fruits in a high concentration determines the tartness of a tangerine.
