Does the acid increase the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution?

Answer 1

The pH increases. There are two ways to think about this. First, adding hydroxide ions is the same as adding a base, and a base will cause the pH of a solution to become more basic, i.e. increase. Second, hydroxide ions will react with hydrogen ions in the solution to neutralize them, decreasing the concentration of hydrogen ions. Since the pH scale is a negative logarithmic scale, a decrease in the concentration of hydrogen ions means an increase in pH.

Answer 2

-OH, or hydroxide, concentrations decrease as an acidic compound is added to it. This is because of a process known as dissociation, or the transfer of hydrogen atoms (or protons) The result is that the acidic compound becomes less acidic because it donates protons to the hydroxide anions, and as it does it becomes more neutral (pH of water = 7, neutral). Also as the hydroxide anions receive the hydrogen atoms, the result is the formation of water (H + OH = H2O), and the water molecule is released from the previously basic compound. The overall result is, in an equal concentration of acid to base, both compounds form as close to a neutral compound (pH = 7) as possible.

Answer 3

The hydrogen ion concentration would increase.

Answer 4

No, acids decrease the amount of hydroxide ions (OH-) and increase the amount of hydronium ions (H+).

Answer 5

no
