Why is water neutral despite to production of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions?
This is because once the ions form the molecule, they lose their characteristics, such as charge, and take on new ones.
Is a substance that can take up hydrogen ions OR release hydroxide in water a base?
yes
How does the iron react when mixed with hydrochloric acid?
Acids produce hydrogen ions, H+. These ions take electrons away from iron atoms, turning them into ions, Fe++. The hydrogen is converted by this process back into its neutral atomic form, and bubbles away in the form of hydrogen gas, H2. The ionic iron remains dissolved in the aqueous solution, as part of the ferrous chloride compound.
Why does aluminium take long to react with acids?
Aluminium forms Al2O3 (a coating which prevent further reaction to take place as the hydrogen ions (H+) will not be in contact with AL+3
What is the difference between acidic and basic solution working with redox reaction?
An acidic solution contains H+ ions, a basic solution contains OH- ions.
What are the substance that can take up or release hydrogen ions into solution as hydrogen concentration of solution changes?
A buffer.

yes
What is the substance that accepts or binds hydrogen ions in a solution?
Buffers. They donate or take away H+ ions to or from a solution if it is needed to maintain constant pH.

What will most likely happen if the hydrogen pump protein in photosystem it doesn't take in enough H ions into the thylakiod?
A decrease in the formation of ATP

What will most likely happen if the hydrogen pump protein in photosystem 1 doesn't take in enough h ions into the thylakoid?
there will be a decrease in the formation of NADPH.
What happens to water in the light-dependent reactions?
Water is broken apart to release oxygen (O2), which is a product of photosynthesis, and two hydrogen ions. The electrons are taken from the hydrogens to form hydrogen ions (H+). The electrons replace those lost in the chlorophyll when it absorbed a photon of light and was sent to transfer the high energy to make ATP.
What is the difference between acidic and basic solution working with redox reaction?
An acidic solution contains H+ ions, a basic solution contains OH- ions.
Why does hydrogen gas liberate at Cu electrode in Zn-Cu cell?
In a zinc-copper cell, zinc gives up electrons, forming the negative terminal of the cell, and the electrons flows as electric current through wires. When the electrons reach the other positive terminal, electrolysis of the electrolyte takes place at the positive terminal. Hydrogen ions and the cation of the electrolyte will be attracted to the positive Copper electrode. The hydrogen ions, being less reactive than the cation ions, will take up the electrons on the copper electrode, forming hydrogen gas.
Why does it take several redox reaction in a cell to make water from hydrogen and oxygen?
Without getting into the specifics of the electron transport chain, redox reactions are needed because electrons need to be shuffled around to provide the right conditions for the oxygen and hydrogen to combine. After respiration, there are many hydrogen ions (protons) sitting around while "their" electrons are being passed back and forth in continuous redox reactions. The very last redox reaction is when the electronegative oxygen accepts the electrons -- then four hydrogen ions come in to bond with O2 to make two water molecules.
