They are element indicators. O is for oxygen, and H is for hydrogen. OH- is a negative hydroxide ion. They can be formed through electrolysis of water using a hydroxide like Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) or Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH). The presence of OH- compounds often indicate alcohol of some type.

What happends to the OH- as the H plus increases?

The concentration of OH- decreases as the concentration of H+ increases. This is beacause there is an equilibrium H2O <-> H+ + OH- and therefore the [H+][OH-] is a constant

An enantiomer is a pair of structures which are mirror images of each other. For D-glucose:CHO | CHO| | |H--OH | OH--H| | |OH--H | H--OH| | |H--OH | OH--H| | |H--OH | OH--H| | |CH2OH | CH2OHOn the left is D-glucose, and on the right is L-glucose, mirror images.


What is meant by ionic product of water?

The ionic product of water refers to the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of water into its ions, H+ and OH-. It is represented by the equation: Kw = [H+][OH-]. At 25°C, the value of Kw is 1.0 x 10^-14.

HO-CH2-C(H+OH)-C(OH+H)-C(H+OH)-C(H+OH)-CH2-OH. This molecule has two names - D-Glucitol and L-Sorbitol.


How does the concentration of H plus and OH- ions determine pH?

The concentration of H+ ions in a solution determines its acidity; the higher the concentration of H+ ions, the lower the pH. The concentration of OH- ions in a solution determines its alkalinity; the higher the concentration of OH- ions, the higher the pH. pH is a logarithmic scale that represents the concentration of H+ ions in a solution.
