A solution containing concentrations of H plus ions higher than pure water are called what?
acids
Acids are compounds that dissociate in water and release what?
Acids release hydrogen+ ions (H+) when dissolved in water
What is the term that describes acids which give a low concentration of hydronium ions?
Such acids are considered weak acids, such as organic acids.
What ions are used to group acids and bases?
Acids: H+ and Bases: OH-
How do hydrogen ions give acidic character to acids?
Acids are proton donors. Since protons are H+ ions, an acid must have a proton to give away.
Do acids or bases have stronger concentrations of H ions?
Acids- they donate hydrogen ions to bases, which then become molecules.
A solution containing concentrations of H plus ions higher than pure water are called what?
acids
Why glucose solution cannot conduct electricity?
Glucose does not dissociate into charged ions in water solution, and the only water solutions with high conductivity are those with substantial concentrations of charged ions, such as the solutions of most salts, acids, and bases.
Acidic solutions are those that contain an excess of?
Acidic solutions contain very high concentrations of hydrogen ions. In an acidic solution, then, the concentration of hydrogen ions is greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions.
How does the evaporation of the water in the snow affect the concentrations of acids in the snow?
As the acids after mixing with the water get ionize, and the resulting ions are held by the water molecules separately. When the water molecule get evaporate sometimes they take away these acidic ions with them and thus the concentration of acids get lower in the sample.
Do bases have a high or low concentration of hydrogen ions?
Bases have a low concentration of hydrogen ions. In contrast, acids have a high concentration of hydrogen ions.
Why will too much fertilizer kill grass?
it will form ammonia ions which are phytotoxic in high concentrations
What is arcacids?
Uric acid is the heterocyclic compound of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen that forms ions and salts. It is a product of the metabolic breakdown of purine acids and high concentrations can lead to gout, diabetes and the formation of kidney stones.
Why are acids and bases considered strong?
They either have a high concentration of H+ ions (acids) or OH- ions (bases). Strong acids and bases are also highly corrosive relative to weaker more neutral acids/bases.
What are the characteristics an acid?
An acid is: A substance that produces hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. A substance that reduces the pH of a solution (it has a pH of less than 7). To human taste buds, acids taste bitter. In high concentrations, acids are corrosive, especially to some metals and to most organic compounds.
Why some acids have OH ions?
Acids add Hydrogen Ions (H+) and not OH ions
What is bone synthesis?
Precipitation of the salt calcium phosphate among fibers of the protein type I collagen. This results from raising the concentrations of calcium ions and phosphate ions beyond their "solubility product" concentration. This occurs next to special cells called osteocytes, and not inside their cytoplasm. Nobody has discovered the mechanism by which osteocytes pump high concentrations of calcium ions and also high concentrations of phosphate ions into the same locations. One theory is that a special protein ("osteoid") binds to both calcium ions and phosphate ions, so that they precipitate at concentrations that would not be high enough to cause precipitation if no osteoid were present. If you know how osteocytes cause bone synthesis, then you should publish this information in a refereed journal, such as Nature. akharris@bio.unc.edu
