acids
An acid increase the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
acids
Acids increase the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
Adding a base the hydrogen concentration decrease.
H plus ion concentration can be decreased by adding base to the solution. The reduction can also be done by accepting hydrogen ions.
If the concentration of weak bases increases, the pH of the solution will increase. Weak bases accept protons in solution, leading to a decrease in hydrogen ion concentration and an increase in hydroxide ion concentration, which in turn raises the pH.
Bases, anything with the OH- ion in the formula.
pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration; so an increase in hydrogen ion concentration give a reduction in pH. A reduction in hydrogen ion concentration causes an increase in pH.
In this case the pH increase over 7.
The hydroxide ion concentration would decrease in response to the increase in hydrogen ion concentration. This is due to the neutralization reaction that occurs between the added acid (which releases H+ ions) and the hydroxide ions (OH-) present in the solution.
Fatty acids, amino acids, and nucleic acids can increase the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution because they contain ionizable groups that can release hydrogen ions into the solution, increasing its acidity. These molecules can donate protons to the solution, leading to an increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions and a decrease in pH.
