Water (H2O) consists of an hydroxyl radical anion (-OH) and an hydrogen cation (which in water is called an hydronium). Although there is a buffering factor associated with the hydronium concentration, in the most simple form of your question, the answer would be: As one shifts the balance of the H+/OH- by removing H+, one creates a more basic (caustic) solution.

The hydrogen removed is combined with?

The hydrogen removed is typically combined with other elements to form compounds such as water (H2O) or hydrogen gas (H2). This allows for the hydrogen to be efficiently utilized in different chemical processes or reactions.


What breaks water into hydrogen and oxygen?

Electrolysis breaks water into hydrogen and oxygen. When an electric current is passed through water, the water molecules (H2O) are split into hydrogen gas (H2) at the cathode and oxygen gas (O2) at the anode.


What happens if you put hydrogen in water?

Not much! Some of it, a tiny amount, might bond to the water molecules, but as water already has its standard H2O composition, most extra hydrogen will simply bubble out, hydrogen being lighter than water. For details and discussion of hydrogen bonding with water, see Related Links below these advertisements. The solubility of hydrogen gas in water at 0oC is 0.0019 grams of hydrogen per kilogram of water. At 60oC, the solubility is 0.0012 grams of hydrogen per kilogram of water. That is a tiny amount that will dissolve in the water. The rest would simply bubble out as the previous answerer said. Also, most likely, the water would be already saturated with hydrogen since it was in contact with the atmosphere, which contains hydrogen; so unless you took steps to purge the hydrogen from the water to get water not already saturated with hydrogen, all of the added hydrogen would bubble out since the water would be already saturated with hydrogen.


When hydrogen chloride is dissolved in water to form hydrochloric acid what happens to the hydrogen chloride?

when hydrogen chloride is dissolved in water to form hydrochloric acid, the hydrogen chloride turns to HCL subscript 38 because of the water molecules. i also believe that they change from clear to a misty green colour but it may just be the result of a dirty test tube.


Water that contains hydrogen 2 atoms instead of hydrogen 1 atoms is called?

Water that contains hydrogen-2 instead of hydrogen-1 is called heavy water.
