Which acid does not contain H ion?

All acids contain H+ but stronger acids contain more than weaker acids. Alkalis contain OH-. In stronger alkalis there is more OH- and in weaker, there is less. This is why pH7 is neutral - the H+ and the OH- form H2O which is a neutral substance.

Why can phosphorus-32 be used to detect the presence of nucleic acids but not amino acids?

amino acids only contain carbon,hydrogen,oxygen and nitrogen. they do not contain phosphorus and cannot be incorporated. the ion phosphoric acid is found in nucleic acid.


Why all acids contain H ions?

Acids contain hydrogen ions (H+) because when acids are dissolved in water, they donate protons to the water molecules, forming these H+ ions. This dissociation of H+ ions in water is what gives acids their characteristic properties, such as their sour taste and their ability to react with bases.


What element do all alkalis contain?

All alkalis contain the hydroxide ion (OH-). This hydroxide ion is responsible for the characteristic properties of alkalis, such as their ability to neutralize acids and their ability to turn litmus paper blue.


What are acid base and salts?

Acids contain the ion H+ or (-COOH)-. Bases contain the ion OH-. Salts are the products of an acid/base reaction; they contain the cation from the base and the anion from the acid.
