Is an ammonia water an acid or a base?

Ammonia water is a base chemically, if it reacts with an acidic substance it will produce a salt that is dissolved in the water..


Does an acid or a base produce OH in water?

A base produces OH- ions in water, while acids do not produce OH- ions. When a base is dissolved in water, it releases OH- ions, increasing the concentration of hydroxide ions and raising the pH of the solution.


Is K3PO4 a base or a salt?

K3PO4 is a salt composed of the potassium ion (K+) and the phosphate ion (PO4^3-). It is not a base as it does not produce hydroxide ions when dissolved in water.


What chemicals do acids and bases produce?

Acids produce hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water, while bases produce hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. These ions are responsible for the characteristic properties of acids and bases, such as their ability to conduct electricity and react with other substances.


Do basic compounds produce OH- ions when dissolved in water?

Arrhenius bases produce OH- ions by definition when dissolved in water. A Bronsted - Lowry base can produce OH- ions, but only has to produce a proton accepting group by definition. A Lewis base is defined as an electron donating group, which hydroxide ion is. So, basic compounds do produce OH- ions when dissolved in water, but not in all cases.


What does a base release when it is dissolved?

A base releases hydroxide ions (OH-) when it is dissolved in water. These hydroxide ions can then react with acids to neutralize them and form water.


Is H4S a base or acid?

H4S, or hydrogen sulfide, is a weak acid. When dissolved in water, it can ionize to produce hydronium ions and sulfide ions.


Gas whose aqueous solution is basic?

Ammonia gas when dissolved in water produce Ammonium hydroxide so its solution is basic.


What ion does acid produce when dissolved in water?

Acids produce hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. This is what gives acids their characteristic sour taste and ability to react with bases.


When electrolytes are dissolved in water do they produce ions?

Yes, when electrolytes are dissolved in water, they dissociate into ions. This results in the solution conducting electricity because the ions are free to move and carry an electric charge.


What is the pH of strontium?

Strontium does not have a pH as it is not an acid or base in itself. However, it will react with water to produce strontium hydroxide, which is a base and will produce a pH greater than 7. pH is not a measure of how strong an acid or base is, it is a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is. It depends on both how strong a dissolved acid or base is and how much is dissolved in a given volume of water.


A reaction of an acid and base will produce water and what?

An acid and a base react to form water and a salt
