What ions will nitric acid form when dissolved in water?

When an acid is added to water it produces hydronium ion along with acid radical.


Why the solubility of salicylic acid in water change when hydrochloric acid is added?

Because of the common ion effect.


What ion increases in concentration when a strong acid is added to water?

H3O+ (or just H+)


What will happen to hydrogen ion concentration and the pH of water if hydrochloric acid added to water?

When an acid (any) is added the H+ concentration goes up, and the pH goes down.


What is an arrhensius acid?

An Arrhenius acid is a substance that when added to water increases the concentration of H+ ions. When it is added to water, it loses its hydrogen ion, which combines with water molecules to form hydronium, H3O+. Hydrochloric acid is an example of an Arrhenius acid. HCl + H2O ---> H3O+ + Cl-


Which ion is donated by an acid when added to water OH- OH plus H- or H plus?

H+ or a proton.


Conjugated acids and bases of water?

The conjugate acid of water is the hydronium ion (H3O+) and the conjugate acid of water is the hydroxide ion (OH-).


Which ion increases in concentration when strong acid is added to water?

the excess hydronium reacts with hydroxide in water to form more water and reduce the amount of hydroxide present.


Why the solubility of salicylic acid in water change when sodium bicarbonate is added?

Salicylic acid is a benzene ring with two neighboring functional groups. One is a carboxylic acid (COOH) the other is a hydroxl (OH) When Bicarbonate(HCO3) is added to water with salicylic acid, the -HCO3 pulls the proton off of the hydroxyl making it a salicylate ion. Salicylate ion has a greater solubility than salicylic acid. I think. That's what 1 semester of Ochem will do for you.


What is Ammonium ion and Hydronium ion?

The Ammonium ion (NH4+) is the ion formed when ammonia (NH3) acquires an H+ ion from an acid. The hydronium ion (H3O+) when water acquires an H+ ion from an acid. It is not stable outside of an aqueous (water) environment.


What ion is added to make an acid?

Acids produce hydrogen ions.


What two parts do acids add to solution?

When acid is added to solution (assuming by solution you mean water), it readily dissociates to generate H+ ion and a electronegative ion species. For ex: When HCl is added to water, it dissociates to generate H+ ion and Cl- ion. However, this dissociation is not absolute. Therefore H+ and Cl- ions can never exist as independent ions in solution. The extra H+ ions contributed by the acid is responsible for the acidic nature of the solution.
