An arrhenius acid is, by definition, a solution with a higher concentration of H+ ion than OH-.
An arrhenius acid is, by definition, a solution with a higher concentration of H+ ion than OH-.
False - such a solution is considered "neutral"...neither acidic nor alkaline (basic).
Base solutions have more hydroxide ions (OH-) than hydrogen ions (H+). This is because bases release hydroxide ions when they dissolve in water, increasing the concentration of OH- ions in the solution.
more than 7.0
A solution with a pH greater than 7 will contain more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions. These solutions are considered basic or alkaline. Examples include solutions of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH).
No, acidic solutions contain more hydronium ions (H3O+) than hydroxide ions (OH-). The presence of hydronium ions is what gives acidic solutions their characteristic sour taste and ability to conduct electricity.
In a neutral solution, the amount of hydronium ions (H3O+) is equal to the amount of hydroxide ions (OH-), giving a pH of 7. However, in acidic solutions, there are more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions, leading to a pH less than 7. In basic solutions, there are more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions, resulting in a pH greater than 7.
An acidic solution has a greater number of hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions. However, technically they are hydronium ions (H3O+), not hydrogen ions.
These solutions contain the cation H+ and an anion.
An aqueous solution that contains more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions is considered to be basic or alkaline. This imbalance in ion concentration leads to a pH greater than 7. Examples of such solutions include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) solutions.
An aqueous solution with more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions is basic, not acidic. This imbalance in ions indicates a higher pH level. Basic solutions have a pH greater than 7.
Pure water is neutral - pH 7 If a solution has a high concentration of H+ ions it is acidic and will have a pH between 0 and 6.9 depending on the strength of the acid.
