What type of ion do acids form in solution?

Not simple to answer - acidic solutions contain more hydrogen ions that hydroxide ions, but there are very many ions that can cause hydrogen ions to be in excess - for instance the hydrogen-sulphate ion (from an acid salt such as sodium hydrogen-sulphate) when added to water has a tendancy to split into hydrogen and sulphate ions, so making the solution acidic. Not all acid salts are acid in soultion - for instance sodium hydrogen-carbonate is alkaline. When dissolved in water, the hydrogen-carbonate ion tends to react with hydrogen ions in the water to form molecular carbonic acid - removing hydrogen ions from the water and hence making it alkaline. Acid salts of strong acids, such as sulphuric, hydrochloric, nitric, are acidic in solution. Acid salts of weak acids, such as carbonic, sulphurous, are alkaline in solution. Just a few simple examples.

An acid releases H+ ions in water.

Ion which combines with hydrogen ions to give water?

I believe it is hydroxide(OH-)ions H+ + OH- -->H2O


How are the concentrations of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions related in an aqueous solution.?

If their concentrations are multiplied with one other the product equals the water constant Kw:a kind of 'equilibrium constant' of the 'water equilibrium' reactions and vice verse: *)[H+]*[OH-] = Kw = 1.0*10-14or in negative log10 value's: (analogs of pH = -log[H+] ) pH + pOH = pKw = 14.0*) This equilibrium state is reached very quickly, so in any watery solution this is always a constant value. [H+] and [OH-] are always depending on each other: If you add acid (H+) then H+ goes up AND SO OH- goes down!H+ + OH- H2O

Bases are solutions which contain an excess of what?

H+ ions


What is a compound that produces an excess of hydrogen ions in water?

An example of a compound that produces an excess of hydrogen ions in water is hydrochloric acid (HCl). When HCl is dissolved in water, it dissociates into hydrogen ions (H+) and chloride ions (Cl-) leading to an increase in the concentration of H+ ions.


H plus ions build up in the?

H+ ions build up in the stomach, creating an acidic environment essential for digesting food. The stomach lining is designed to handle this acidity without causing damage. The excess H+ ions are eventually neutralized and eliminated by the body.


What liquids can you use to change the color of litmus paper?

Any acid or base should do the trick.Any compound with excess hydrogen ions (H+) or excess hydroxide ions (OH-). Also, any compound that absorbs hydrogen ions (H+) or hydroxide ions (OH-).


What positive ions is produced in excess when acids are dissolved in water?

Hydronium(H3O+) ions, which are formed when Hydrogen(H+) ions combine with water molecules.


What ions are excess in acids?

In general, acids contain an excess of hydrogen ions (H+). This is what gives them their characteristic acidic properties, such as the ability to donate protons in reactions.


If a substance dissociates and forms an excess of h positive ions when dissolved in watr it is referred to as?

If a substance dissociates and forms an excess of H+ ions when dissolved in water, it is referred to as an acid. Acids are substances that donate protons when dissolved in water, leading to an increase in H+ ions concentration in the solution.


Does an acidic solution have an excess of hydrogen ions?

Yes, an acidic solution has an excess of hydrogen ions (H+). This is because acids donate protons (H+) in aqueous solutions, resulting in a higher concentration of hydrogen ions compared to hydroxide ions (OH-) which are found in basic solutions.


What is a base in science?

A base is any solute that removes hydrogen ions (H+) from solution (raising the pH), or it can be called a proton acceptor. Excess hydroxide ions (OH-) in body fluids cause alkalosis.
