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.
What causes volume contraction between ethanol and water?
Hydrogen bonds are formed between water and ethanol molecules, the solution become more "packed"; the density increase and the volume decrease.
What does Calcitonin causes?
a decrease in the blood concentration of calcium
What causes bacteria to decrease?
It gets tired of being bacteria and dies.
What causes intestinal lactase enzymes to decrease?
Intestinal lactase enzymes usually decrease naturally with age, but this happens to varying degrees.
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.
How does clonidine act as a sedative?
Clonidine is an alpha-2 adenergic agonist. This means that it stimulates the alpha-2 receptor. This causes a decreased release of norepinephrine and epinephrine. This decrease causes a decrease sympathetic tone acting like a sedative.
What causes density to decrease?
an increase in volume and/or a decrease in mass

What type of reaction causes stars to combine hydrogen and release massive amounts of radiation?
This involves "nuclear fusion" reactions.

What hormone stimulates the release of calcium?
the parathyroid hormone (PTH) is released by the parathyroid gland (located behind the thyroid gland). A decrease in blood calcium causes the parathyroid gland to secrete PTH which causes the bones to release more calcium to raise blood calcium and also causes the kidneys to decrease the amount of calcium lost in urine
