Basic solutions are solutions that have more than a 1E-7 concentration of hydroxide ion. Thus, solutions with "extra" hydroxide ions are basic. On the other hand, solutions with extra hydrogen (hydronium) ions are acidic.

What is the chemical solution for hydronium?

Hydronium ion is H+ ion or H3O+ ions aqueous solution that contains excess of H+ ions is known as hydronium solution or better, as acidic solution.


Extra solute sitting at the bottom of a solution indicates the solution is what?

The solution is likely supersaturated, meaning that it contains more solute than it can normally dissolve at that temperature.


Is it possible for a solution to be both an electrolyte and an acid?

Yes!An acid (generally speaking) will form H3O+, or hydronium ions (an extra H is attached to a water molecule) in aqueous solution.An electrolyte is a solution whose aqueous solutions conduct electricity.An example would be Hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid, HCl(aq) will completely disassociate in aqueous solution (dissolve), and hence form Hydronium ions.Hydronium ions are very mobile in water, and will transfer the electrical charge throughout the solution, hence making it electricity conductible.

What is it called when candy solution cools and extra solute remains dissolved?

This is called supersaturation. It occurs when a solution contains more solute than it can normally hold at a given temperature, and when the solution cools down, the excess solute remains dissolved until disturbed.


How does a hydronium ion differ from a hydroxide ion?

Hydronium ion is 'H^(+) The Hydroxide ion is 'OH^(-)'. #1. One is positively charged , the other is negatively chsrged. #2 ; one does not contain oxygen atom, the othe does. #3 ; in solution they combine to form water.
