In a neutral solution, the amount of hydronium ions (H3O+) is equal to the amount of hydroxide ions (OH-), giving a pH of 7. However, in acidic solutions, there are more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions, leading to a pH less than 7. In basic solutions, there are more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions, resulting in a pH greater than 7.

Is water an acid or base if it has less amount of hydroxide ions compared to hydronium ions?

It will be acidic having less amount of hydroxide ions.


What is hydronium hydroxide?

Hydronium hydroxide is not a recognized chemical compound. There is no stable form of hydronium hydroxide because hydronium ions (H3O+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) react to form water.


What contain a positive charge hydronium ions hydroxide ions electrons or neutrons?

Hydronium Ions


What is true about the relative concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions in an acid solution?

In an acidic solution, the relative concentration of hydronium ions will always be higher than hydroxide ions. This means that the relatively concentration of hydroxide ions will always be lower than hydronium ions in an acidic solution. The reason for this is that in a neutral solution, the concentration of both hydronium ions and hydroxides ions are equal (both are 10-7). By making the concentration of hydronium ions greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions, the solution becomes acidic.


What happens when you add a base and water?

I think that the amount of hydronium ions goes down and the number of hydroxide ions goes up.


How are the concentrations of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions related?

The pH of a solution is related directly to its concentrations of hydronium ions(H3O^+) and hydroxide ions(OH-). Acidic solutions have more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions. Neutral solutions have equal numbers of the 2 ions. Basic solutions have more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions.


What contains more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions?

An acidic solution contains more hydronium ions (H3O+) than hydroxide ions (OH-) because it has a pH less than 7. The higher the concentration of hydronium ions, the lower the pH of the solution.


How much does lemon juice lower pH?

Lemon juice lowers pH by increasing the amount of Hydronium ions and decreasing the amount of Hydroxide ions. pH is the measurement of Hydronium ions. If there is more hydronium ions, the lower the pH will be. Lemon juice increases the amount of Hydronium ions by adding a Hydrogen atom into solution when the citric acid dissociates.


Does a strong base produce the most hydronium ions in an aqueous solution?

No, you mixed it up. Hydronium H3O+ from strong acid and Hydroxide OH- from strong base (alkaline)


Is 9 the pH of equal numbers of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions?

No. pH is the negative logarithm of the concentration of the hydronium ion. Equal numbers of hydronium ions and hydroxyl ions occurrs only when a solution is neutral.


If a solution is alkaline or a base what ions does it have more of?

it has more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions


Is solution with four times as many hydronium ions hydroxide ions a acid base or a neutral?

A solution with four times as many hydronium ions as hydroxide ions is considered acidic. This is because the excess hydronium ions make the solution more acidic by increasing the concentration of H+ ions compared to OH- ions.
