Which molecule can increase the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution and therefore is an organic acid?

An example of a molecule that can increase the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution and is considered an organic acid is acetic acid. Acetic acid is a weak organic acid that dissociates in solution to release hydrogen ions, contributing to increased acidity.


In an aqueous solution what are hydrogen ions always joined to?

Water molecules are joined by hydrogen bonds; water is a polar covalent molecule.


What is transferred from each HC1 molecule to a water molecule when hydrogen chloride gas dissolves in water?

When hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas dissolves in water, hydronium ions (H3O+) and a chloride ions (Cl-) form. To form the hydronium ions, the hydrogen atoms of the HCl gas are transferred to the water molecule to form the hydronium ions.


An arrhenius acid has 1.only hydroxide ions in solution. 2.only hydrogen ions in solution. 3.hydrogen ions as the only positive ions in solution. 4.hydrogen ions as the only negative ions in solut?

An Arrhenius acid has only hydrogen ions in solution.


What makes acid acidic?

An acid is a substance that releases hydrogen ions, H+, in an aqueous (water) solution, or a substance that gives up a hydrogen ion to another molecule or ion depending on which definition you use.


Are there are more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions?

If the solution is basic, there are more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions. In an acidic solution, there are more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions. The balance between these ions determines the pH of a solution.


What solutions have a greater number of hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions?

An acidic solution has a greater number of hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions. However, technically they are hydronium ions (H3O+), not hydrogen ions.


What conclusion can be made about the proportion of hydroxide ions and hydrogen ions in a solution that has a pH of 7?

The conclusion that can be made about the portion of hydroxide ions and hydrogen ions in a solution that has a pH of 7 is that they are equal. The quantities pH + pOH, which are derived from the concentrations of hydroxide and hydrogen ions, will always have a sum of 14. The ratio of hydrogen and hydroxide in a single water molecule is 1:1.


A solution containing equal numbers of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions is called what?

Technically it is called water because the positive hydrogen ions and the negative hydroxide ions would attract to form a compound with two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule. H2O. This occurs most often in acid-base neutralization reaction where water is a product of the reactions.


What substance adds or removes Hydrogen ions from a solution?

metals and salts that precipitate it - e.g silver nitrate would remove OH ions from solution. Acids would also tend to remove OH ions from solution


What type of solution has more hydrogen ions?

An acidic solution has more hydrogen ions (H+) than a basic solution. The concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution is a measure of its acidity, with higher concentrations indicating a more acidic solution.


Why does phenolphthalein change color in alkaline pH?

Phenolphthalein is a compound with chemical formula of C20 H14 O4. It is colorless but turns pink in alkaline solutions. This is because it undergoes a process of ionization where positively or negatively charged ions are added or removed from a molecule, which converts the molecule into ions. Phenolphthalein molecule contains positively charged hydrogen ions and is naturally colorless with bright pink ions. When exposed to an alkaline solution, these hydrogen ions are removed, phenolphthalein molecule gets ionized and the solution turns pink. The stronger is the alkali solution, more hydrogen ions removed and stronger pink colour of the phenolphthalein solution.
