When an acid dissolves in water, it ionizes, meaning it breaks apart into ions. The hydrogen ions (H+) from the acid combine with water molecules to form hydronium ions (H3O+). This results in an increase in the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution, making it acidic.

What ions would you expect to find when an acid dissolves in water what ions would you expect to find when a base dissolves n water?

This is not a simple answer but nevertheless a complete one according to the Bronsted-Lowry acid / base theory. Acid in water: H3O+ ions from the acid (as proton donor to a water molecule) and the conjugated base anion (negative) as the left over part of the original acid molecule. Example: HCl + H2O --> H3O+ + Cl- Base in water: Most bases are negative anions from basic salts. You'll find in solution (some) OH- ions (together with (base)- ions) and the accompanying metal ion (together with some conjugated acid). Example of acetate base: NaF + H2O --> Na+ + F- + OH- + HF Example of an exception, ammonia: NH3(g) + H2O --> NH4+ + OH-
