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
An acid is a substance that can donate an H plus ion (H⁺). This characteristic allows acids to increase the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, leading to a lower pH value. In contrast, substances with high pH values are considered bases or alkaline, not acids.
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.
