What is true about the relative concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions in an acid solution?

∙ 10y ago
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.

What conditions must be met in order for an aqueous solution to be neutral?
The concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions are equal
What conditions must be met in order for an aqueous solution to be called neutral?
The concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions are equal
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.
Describe the relationship between hydronium and hydroxide ion concentrations in an aqueous solution?
The product of hydronium and hydroxide is a constant Kw equal to 1.00*10-14 at 25°C. Therefore, as one increases, the other decreases.
What is true of the hydroxide and hydrogen ions in a solution of pH 7?
At pH 7, the concentration of hydroxide and hydrogen (hydronium) ions is equal; both concentrations are equal to 10-7 mol/L.
What is the pH of 4.3x10-8 M H3O?
- log(4.3 X 10 -8 M hydronium ) = 7.4 pH ------------- Indicates that hydronium to hydroxide concentrations are low, so slightly basic solution. About blood pH.
Why does the normality of sodium hydroxide change?
Because of water's nature to partially ionise itslef into hydronium and hydroxide ions, any solution of either a hydroxide or an acid will always be affected by this tendency, making the actual concentrations differ slightly from the expected ones.
The terms base and alkaline refer to solutions that hydronium hydroxide hydrogen?
hydroxide anion, OH-: alkaline solution hydrogen cation, H+; hydronium cation, (H3O)+: acidic solution
Are hydronium ions contributed to a solution by a base or acid?
Acids have more hydronium than hydroxide. Bases are the reverse of that.
What is An aqueous solution that contains more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions?
base
A solution has a hydroxide concentration of 0.0000125 M What is the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution?
8.0*10^-10 m
If a solution is alkaline or a base what ions does it have more of?
it has more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions
