When bases are added to water it generates hydroxyl ion (OH).
Example: NaOH+H2O --> Na(aq)+OH-(aq)

What are acids alkali and neutral?
Chemicals that release the H+ ion when dissolved in water are acids. Chemicals that release the OH- ion when dissolved in water are alkali (also known as bases) and water is neutral.
Compare acids and bases based on the ion produced when each compound is dissolved in water?
Acids- number of hydrogen ions increases when dissolved in water. Bases- number of hydroxide ions increases when dissolved in water I had the same question, but I had it for homework (:
What are the substances that release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water called?
Electrolytes that release hydrogen ion in water are called acids.
What releases a hydrogen ion when it dissolves in water?
Releasing a hydrogen ion when one formula unit of a substance dissolves in water is the traditional characteristic of an "acid".
What ion is always present in bases?
Hydroxide Ions
What kinds of ions do bases have in water?
Bases react with H2O to a base ion+ and OH-.
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-).
What do bases give off in water?
hydroxdie ion (OH-)
When bases dissolve in water they release what type of negative ion?
The negative ion is the hydroxyl group (OH)-.
What ion do all bases accept in water?
Hydrogen or hydronium ions.
What type of ion do bases give off in water?
H-
What are acids alkali and neutral?
Chemicals that release the H+ ion when dissolved in water are acids. Chemicals that release the OH- ion when dissolved in water are alkali (also known as bases) and water is neutral.
When does water act as a base and an acid?
molecules in water that release hydrogen ions (H+) are acids, while molecules in water that release hydroxide (OH-) are bases. In water solutions, acids affect water molecules, producing hydronium (H3O+) and bases also affect water molecules, producing hydroxide (OH-) ions.
What happens when bases react with H20?
the alkali as NaOH simply becomes ionized in water but Lewis base as NH3 accept the H(+) ion from water and give OH negative ion......
Which substances decreases the H ion concentration in a solution?
Bases, anything with the OH- ion in the formula.
What is it called when you have too few electrons in an atom?
Ionization. In the issue an ion (cation) is generated.
Why are acids and bases different?
Because an acid produces a hydrogen ion (H+) as it disassociates in water, while a base produces a hydroxide ion, (OH-) as it disassociates in waterAcids have an extra protons (H+) whereas bases are lacking them. For example, water or H2O, is acidic as H3O+ and basic as OH-.
