The pH scale measures the acidity of a substance or solution. It runs from 1 ( very acidic ) to 14 ( very basic ). 7 is nuetral. Hydrogen ions make the solution more acidic, OH ( hydroxil ) makes a solution very basic.

What happens to the number of hydrogen ions if a solution becomes more acidic?
The concentration of hydrogen in a solution increases as the pH of the solution becomes more acidic.
If the pH of a solution is 6 would you expect to find more or fewer hydrogen ions than a solution with a pH of 3?
A lower pH means more hydronium; each decrease by 1 means the concentration is increased tenfold. You would expect to find fewer hydrogen ions in the pH 6 solution (1000 times fewer ions).
What happens to water if you increase the hydrogen content in it?
It turns into an acidic solution-has more H+ ions. Just guessing.
What is a solution that has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions called?
an acid. I think you need more info to say anything else.
The strength of an acid based on concentration of what ions?
Hydrogen ion (H+) [technically it is hydronium ion (H3O+)] that determines the strength of an acid. A mole of hydrochloric acid (HCl) produces 1 mole of H+ ions, then that is a strong acid. Weak acids give smaller amounts of H+ for a mole of substance.
How does acid strength affect electrical conductivity?
The strength of an acid depends of the number of hydrogen ions in solution- the stronger the acid the more hydrogen ions there are in solution. Hydrogen ions in solution carry current, therefore the more hydrogen ions in the solution the more current there will be carried through solution.
What is a solution called that has more OH-ions H plus ions?
When a solution has more hydrogen ions it will be acidic.
Are there are more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions?
In a solution with a pH higher than 7, there are more hydroxide than hydrogen ions.
What type of solution has more hydrogen ions?
acidic
What solution contains more hydroxide ions than it does hydrogen ions?
acidic
What can you say about the porpotion of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in a solution that has a pH of 4?
It is an acid. So, it contains more of hydrogen ions
Is a basic solution expected to contain more hydrogen ions than hydroxyl ions?
More hydroxil ions.
A solution having more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions is known as?
acidic
What happens to the number of hydrogen ions if a solution becomes more acidic?
The concentration of hydrogen in a solution increases as the pH of the solution becomes more acidic.
The terms base and alkaline refer to solutions that?
the more hydroxide ions releases, the more basic the solution becomes. and the solution has more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions.
If the pH of a solution is 6 would you expect to find more or fewer hydrogen ions than a solution with a pH of 3?
A lower pH means more hydronium; each decrease by 1 means the concentration is increased tenfold. You would expect to find fewer hydrogen ions in the pH 6 solution (1000 times fewer ions).
Do acidic solutions give some or many hydrogen ions?
The more acidic a solution is, the more hydrogen ions it gives off.
