Pure water can't be ionized. To be ionized, water must contain minerals. The dissolved minerals conduct electricity, which ionizes the water:

Water with a net-negative ionic charge will be an alkaline

Water with a net-positive ionic charge will be an acidic

In nature, the minerals dissolved in the water will have an influence on whether it is acidic or alkaline. The water's movement through ferrous rock formations (which are magnetic) will cause it to become ionized.

When water is ionized it can act as either an acid or a base.?

ONLY GOD KNOWS. lol


Is ionized water base or acid?

Ionized water can be both alkaline and acidic, depending on the pH level. Alkaline ionized water has a pH greater than 7, while acidic ionized water has a pH less than 7. The pH level can be adjusted during the ionization process.


What is Lactic acid ionized into?

lactic acid, when ionized becomes lactate and hydronium ion.


Compare the degree of ionization of hcl and ch3cooh?

HCL is completely (or nearly 100%) ionized because it is a strong acid whereas the CH3COOH is partially ionized as it is a weak acid.


True or false a compound that contains hydrogen atoms will be an acid when dissolved in water?

False. In order for a compound to be acidic, it must have contain hydrogen atoms that are ionized in aqueous solution. Not all hydrogen atoms in compounds behave this way. For instance, the organic compound methane contains hydrogen but is not an acid. Ammonia also contains hydrogen, but it typically acts as a base, not an acid.


When an acid reacts with water the hydroxide ion is formed true false?

False. When an acid reacts with water, it forms hydronium ions (H3O+) by donating a proton to the water molecule.


True or false An amino acid contains either an amino group or a carboxylic acid group?

the answer is true


True or false The concentration of an acid or base refers to how completely it dissociates in water?

False. The concentration of an acid or base refers to the amount of the acid or base present in a given volume of solution, while the extent of dissociation refers to how completely the acid or base breaks apart into ions in water.


Is a strong acid complete or partial?

A strong acid is completely ionized / dissociated.


What happens when you mix H2O and acetic acid?

When you mix water (H2O) and acetic acid, the acetic acid will dissolve in the water to form a solution. Acetic acid is a weak acid and will partially dissociate into hydrogen ions (H+) and acetate ions (CH3COO-) in the water. This will result in a slightly acidic solution.


What is an acid like HCl that is completely ionized?

Strong


The fraction of acetic acid molecules ionized in solution?

The fraction of acetic acid molecules ionized in solution can be calculated using the equation for the dissociation constant (Ka) of acetic acid. It is equivalent to the concentration of the ionized form (CH3COO-) divided by the total concentration of acetic acid in the solution. This is typically a small percentage for weak acids like acetic acid.
