Pure water can't be ionized. To be ionized, water must contain minerals. The dissolved minerals conduct electricity, which ionizes the water:

Water with a net-negative ionic charge will be an alkaline

Water with a net-positive ionic charge will be an acidic

In nature, the minerals dissolved in the water will have an influence on whether it is acidic or alkaline. The water's movement through ferrous rock formations (which are magnetic) will cause it to become ionized.

When water is ionized it can act as either an acid or a base.?

ONLY GOD KNOWS. lol


Is ionized water base or acid?

Ionized water can be both alkaline and acidic, depending on the pH level. Alkaline ionized water has a pH greater than 7, while acidic ionized water has a pH less than 7. The pH level can be adjusted during the ionization process.


What is Lactic acid ionized into?

lactic acid, when ionized becomes lactate and hydronium ion.


True or false a compound that contains hydrogen atoms will be an acid when dissolved in water?

False. In order for a compound to be acidic, it must have contain hydrogen atoms that are ionized in aqueous solution. Not all hydrogen atoms in compounds behave this way. For instance, the organic compound methane contains hydrogen but is not an acid. Ammonia also contains hydrogen, but it typically acts as a base, not an acid.


Dose de-ionised water turn in to sulfuric acid when in a car battery?

No, de-ionized water does not turn into sulfuric acid when used in a car battery. Instead, it serves as a solvent to dilute sulfuric acid, which is the active electrolyte in lead-acid batteries. The battery contains sulfuric acid and water in a specific concentration, and adding de-ionized water helps maintain the appropriate electrolyte levels without changing the chemical nature of the solution.


Compare the degree of ionization of hcl and ch3cooh?

HCL is completely (or nearly 100%) ionized because it is a strong acid whereas the CH3COOH is partially ionized as it is a weak acid.


When an acid reacts with water the hydroxide ion is formed true false?

False. When an acid reacts with water, it forms hydronium ions (H3O+) by donating a proton to the water molecule.


True or false An amino acid contains either an amino group or a carboxylic acid group?

the answer is true


True or false The concentration of an acid or base refers to how completely it dissociates in water?

False. The concentration of an acid or base refers to the amount of the acid or base present in a given volume of solution, while the extent of dissociation refers to how completely the acid or base breaks apart into ions in water.


What happens when you mix H2O and acetic acid?

When you mix water (H2O) and acetic acid, the acetic acid will dissolve in the water to form a solution. Acetic acid is a weak acid and will partially dissociate into hydrogen ions (H+) and acetate ions (CH3COO-) in the water. This will result in a slightly acidic solution.


Is a strong acid complete or partial?

A strong acid is completely ionized / dissociated.


What is an acid like HCl that is completely ionized?

Strong
