∙ 13y ago
Their are hydroxyl ions not hydroxide ions. They are OH- . hydronium ions are H3O+ .
Presence of hydroxyl ionsin a compound shows its basic nature whereas presence of hydronium ions in a compound shows its acidic nature .

What contain a positive charge hydronium ions hydroxide ions electrons or neutrons?
Hydronium Ions
Are hydrogen ions more acidic than hydroxide ions?
yes ,hydronium ions are more acidic than hydroxide ion.
The Ionization of pure water forms?
Hydronium and hydroxide ions
Does water ionize to form hydroxide and hydronium ions?
yes!
Is 9 the pH of equal numbers of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions?
No. pH is the negative logarithm of the concentration of the hydronium ion. Equal numbers of hydronium ions and hydroxyl ions occurrs only when a solution is neutral.
What contain a positive charge hydronium ions hydroxide ions electrons or neutrons?
Hydronium Ions
What is true about the relative concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions in an acid solution?
In an acidic solution, the relative concentration of hydronium ions will always be higher than hydroxide ions. This means that the relatively concentration of hydroxide ions will always be lower than hydronium ions in an acidic solution. The reason for this is that in a neutral solution, the concentration of both hydronium ions and hydroxides ions are equal (both are 10-7). By making the concentration of hydronium ions greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions, the solution becomes acidic.
How are the concentrations of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions related?
The pH of a solution is related directly to its concentrations of hydronium ions(H3O^+) and hydroxide ions(OH-). Acidic solutions have more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions. Neutral solutions have equal numbers of the 2 ions. Basic solutions have more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions.
What contains more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions?
Acids
Are hydrogen ions more acidic than hydroxide ions?
yes ,hydronium ions are more acidic than hydroxide ion.
If a solution is alkaline or a base what ions does it have more of?
it has more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions
Is 9 the pH of equal numbers of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions?
No. pH is the negative logarithm of the concentration of the hydronium ion. Equal numbers of hydronium ions and hydroxyl ions occurrs only when a solution is neutral.
The Ionization of pure water forms?
Hydronium and hydroxide ions
Does water ionize to form hydroxide and hydronium ions?
yes!
Is water an acid or base if it has less amount of hydroxide ions compared to hydronium ions?
It will be acidic having less amount of hydroxide ions.
What is An aqueous solution that contains more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions?
base
What is the difference between a strong acid and a strong base.?
A strong acids dissociates completely in water to produce hydronium (H3O+) ions A strong base dissociates completely in water to produce hydroxide (OH-) ions
