Firstly, let's correct the question: If there's a concentration of OH- ions present, then your solution is a base, so in fact you would simply be adding acid, not additional acid, which implies that your solution is already acidic.
As you add acid to a base, the OH- ions in the base and the H+ ions from the acid combine to form H2O, also known as water.
If you add so much acid that there is the same concentration of H+ as OH- ions, then your solution is now Ph neutral. In other words, it's neither an acid nor a base.
IMPORTANT: Ph neutral DOES NOT MEAN that there are no OH- or H+ ions present at all in the solution because they've all "paired off" - both ions are always present in the solution, constantly pairing and splitting. It's just that the concentration of both is now equal, so in effect they "cancel each other out".
If you continue to add acid, the H+ concentration increases beyond the OH- concentration, and the solution starts becoming acidic (this is also the point at which you would be correct in saying that you're adding additional acid)
this is buffer system consisted of a weak base and its conjugated base. NH4OH is the weak acid and the NH4Cl is the conjugated base. when an acid or a base is added in small amount the change of the pH of this solution is neglegible hence we tells that this shows a resistivity when adding an acid or a base .when an acid is added OH ions reacts and form H2O and NH4OH dissociates and give the OH ions to the solution .When an base is added NH+ ions react with OH ions added and form NH4OH which dissociates weakly to NH+ ions and OH- ions .
An Arrhenius base produces OH- ions.
Acid: A substance that can donate H+ ions. Alkali: A substance that can donate OH- ions. Neutral: A substance that cannot donate H+ or OH- ions.
yes
Acids are substances that produce hydrogen ions when added to water. Bases on the other hand will produce negative ions when added to water. Salts are formed as a mixture of acids and bases with the acids producing H+ ions and bases OH- ions.

acid produces H+ ions base produces OH- ions
Decreases
An acid has more H+ ions than OH- ions, while a base has more OH- ions than H+ ions.
An Arrhenius base produces OH- ions.
It bonds with the added H+ or OH- in solution.

Alkaline (or basic) compounds such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) will release OH- ions, when added to water.
