The premise of this question is incorrect. When NaOH is added to water the hydroxide concentration increases. NaOH is a base. If a substance decreases hydroxide concentration it would be an acid.
When NaOH is added to water, the hydroxide concentration increases. What can you conclude about NaOH?
The reaction is:
NaH + H2O = NaOH + H2
it is a base
NaOH is soluble in water.
No. A base decreases the amount of hydronium, and increases the amount of hydroxide.
Acids have more hydronium than hydroxide. Bases are the reverse of that.
H3O+ (or just H+)
Sodium hydroxide simply becomes ionized in water, no reaction will occur. And the concentration of NaOH will be reduced, if enough water is added.
eat people In water NaOH becomes a strong base and can dissolve things like human skin and is used as a drain cleaner. When small amounts of water are added to dry NaOH, the reaction generates heat.
No. A base decreases the amount of hydronium, and increases the amount of hydroxide.
A hydroxide ion.
the excess hydronium reacts with hydroxide in water to form more water and reduce the amount of hydroxide present.

As a general rule of thumb, for acid solutions [H+] > [OH-], for basic solutions [H+] < [OH-], and for neutral solutions or for pure water [H+] = [OH-] This is the answer but can someone explain it to me?
Calcium hydroxide has a low solubility in water yet if the concentration of hydroxyl ions increase the pH increase.
