How are acidic solutions different from basic solutions?

basic solutions have more bases in them, molecules that release 0H- ions in the solution. acidic solutions have more acids, molecules that give off H+ ions in the solution


What happens to the number of hydrogen ions if a solution becomes more acidic?

The concentration of hydrogen in a solution increases as the pH of the solution becomes more acidic.


Does baking soda release hydrogen when dissolved in water?

No. It simply dissolves. If added to an acidic solution such as vinegar it will release carbon dioxide.


What type of solution has more hydrogen ions?

acidic


Is acidic or basic a solution?

You seem to be confused. acidic and basic are not things, they are properties. For example, vinegar is a solution, and it is acidic, because in solution, it dissolves to release hydrogen ions. Basic solutions, such as bleach, either accept hydronium ions in solution, or release hydroxide ions in solution. But all solutions, with the exception of distilled water, is either definatively acidic or basic. Look up a pH meter or a pH scale. The lower the number, the more acidic a solution is. The higher the number is, the more basic a solution is, and if it is 7.0, then it is neutral.


Does an acidic solution have an excess of hydrogen ions?

If the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is 10-10M is the solution acidic alkaline or neutral?

Alkaline


Why is a acid called a acid?

They are acidic due to hydrogen ions. The more hydrogen ions converted from the original solution there are the more acidic it will be. For example Hydrochloric Acid converts more hydrogen ions from (hydrogen + water + chloride) solution than citric acid does from its respective solution...


What has more hydrogen ions acidic or basic solutions?

A hydrogen ion is just a proton, H+. The pH of a solution depends on proton concentration, pH = -log of H+ concentration. Therefore, the greater the number of protons present in solution, the lower the pH number, and the more acidic the solution.


Why the acidic character increases with the decrease in pH?

The acidic character increases with decrease in pH because the pH and acidity are both dependent on the hydrogen ion concentration, with pH being the negative log of the hydrogen concentration. So, at the concentration of H+ increases, the negative log of the H+ concentration decreases.


What solution contains more hydroxide ions than it does hydrogen ions?

acidic


What should be hydrogen ion concentration of a solution having pH 11 state whether it is acidic or basic?

The hydrogen ion concentration having a PH of 11 is acidic.
