A hydroxyl ion is a component of a base.
A base
A neutral solution.
The electrical charge of the hydoxyl ion is -1.
Decreases
The number of replaceable hydroxyl (OH-) Ions in a base is called the acidity of that base.
Dissociation of a base produce hydroxyl ions.
A hydroxyl ion is a component of a base.
A substance that releases hydroxyl ions in water is a base. Bases are substances which in water, becomes slippery, has a bitter taste, changes indicator color, forms salts with acids and promotes base catalysis. Alkaline earth materials is an example of a base.
If a substance produces hydroxyl ions (OH-) when dissolved in water, it is referred to as a BASE.
it means the no of replaceable hydrogen atoms
The concentration oh hydroxyl ions (OH)- is increased.
A Base
A base in solution will produce hydroxide or OH- ions.
This substance is a base.
This process is called neutralization.
If a substance has more hydrogen ions than hydroxyl ions it causes the substance to be acidic on the pH scale, and vice versa. Hydrogen ions have a positive charge while hydroxyl has an negative.
