acids
An acid increase the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
H plus ion concentration can be decreased by adding base to the solution. The reduction can also be done by accepting hydrogen ions.
Bases, anything with the OH- ion in the formula.
Well, it depends on what ion you are talking about: the H+ ion, 'proton,' or the H- hydride ion. Anions, Lewis bases accept the proton or H+ ion (HCl); but active metals can react with H- to form metal hydrides (NaH for example)
acids such as HCl, H2SO4 HNO3 etc
acids are substances that release their hydrogen ion(s) while bases grab hydrogen ions to themselves. SO, adding acids will increase the H+ concentration while adding bases will decrease the H+ concetration of the solution. This would be considered a direct effect.
An acid releases a hydrogen ion, H+ into a solution.
As H goes up (becomes more acidic), the pH level goes down. Acids have a pH below 7 whereas bases - substances that readily bond with H+ ions a.k.a. alkaline substances, have a pH greater than 7
Electrolytes that release hydrogen ion in water are called acids.
The hydrogen ion (H+) is responsible for the acidic properties of a liquid solution. In acidic solutions, there is an excess of H+ ions, which lowers the pH of the solution.
The pH is a measure of the activity of the ion H+ in a solution.
