Hydrogen ion concentration increases.
A hydrogen ion is just a proton, H+. The pH of a solution depends on proton concentration, pH = -log of H+ concentration. Therefore, the greater the number of protons present in solution, the lower the pH number, and the more acidic the solution.
pH is a measure of the activity of hydroxide (OH-) and hydronium (H3O+) in aqueous solution. Acidic solutions have greater numbers of reactive hydronium ions. Basic solutions have more hydroxide ions and less reactive hydronium ions.
raises the pH Edited by Dr.J.: Are you kidding me? Raising the H3O+ concentration does NOT raise the pH, it LOWERS the pH. I can't believe that 8 people actually found this incorrect answer to be useful.
The pH value is an indication of the acidity/alkalinity of a solution. More precisely, the pH value is a representation of the concentration of hydrogen cations (hydronium ions) in a solution.
An acid increase the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
The concentration of hydrogen in a solution increases as the pH of the solution becomes more acidic.
A measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in solutions is the pH. Solutions with more hydrogen ions are acids, and substances with less hydrogen ions are bases. Furthermore, each number descending has ten times the amount of hydrogen ions of the previous number (ie a solution with a pH of 5 has 1,000 more hydrogen ions than a solution with a pH of 8).
pH tells us the hydrogen ion (H+) ion concentration. The lower the number - the greater the number of hydrogen ions. Adding hydrogen ions decreases pH (and increases acidity) removing them (eg by adding hydroxide OH-) increases pH.

p means -log10 of a number, H is shorthand for hydrogen ion concentration. If hydrogen ion concentration is 10^-4 mols/litre, pH is 4

A substance that increases the concentration of hydroxide ions in solution (OH-), is referred to as an Arrhenius base.

An acid has a greater concentration of H+(hydrogen ion) and a lower concentration of OH-(hydroxide).
It produces a neutral salt along with water
