Many ionic compounds will dissociate into ions in water. To figure out which ones will/won't you need to look at the solubility rules:

  1. All common compounds of Group I and ammonium ions are soluble.
  2. All nitrates, acetates, and chlorates are soluble.
  3. All binary compounds of the halogens (other than F) with metals are soluble, except those of Ag, Hg(I), and Pb. Pb halides are soluble in hot water.)
  4. All sulfates are soluble, except those of barium, strontium, calcium, lead, silver, and Mercury (I). The latter three are slightly soluble.
  5. Except for rule 1, carbonates, hydroxides, oxides, silicates, and phosphates are insoluble.
  6. Sulfides are insoluble except for calcium, barium, strontium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and ammonium.

What substance dissociates into hydrogen ions and anions?

An acid is a substance that dissociates into hydrogen ions (H+) and anions when dissolved in water. The hydrogen ions give acids their characteristic sour taste and ability to conduct electricity. Examples of acids include hydrochloric acid (HCl) and acetic acid (CH3COOH).


What forms hydrogen ions when dissolved in water?

When acids dissolve in water, they dissociate to form hydronium ions. There is not a substance that's forms truly forms hydrogen ions in water.However, for purposes of convenience the hydronium ions are sometimes referred to as hydrogen ions.


An acid is a substance that ionizes in water to form what ions?

Acids dissolve in water to release hydrogen ions.


Is a substance that forms hydrogen ions in water solution a base?

false


An inorganic compound when placed in water dissociates 99 percent forming hydrogen ions and anions what would this substance be?

This substance would likely be a strong acid, such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) or sulfuric acid (H2SO4), which dissociates almost completely in water to form hydrogen ions (H+) and anions.


What kind of ions separate from acid's in solution?

hydrogen ions and anions.


What kind ions separate from acids in solution?

hydrogen ions and anions.


Is An acid is a substance that forms hydroxide in a water solution?

Acids forms the ion H+.


What is the substance that forms hydrogen ions H in water and has a pH below 7?

Acid


Why is a base the name of the substance that forms hydrogen ions in water?

A base is a substance that contains hydroxide ions (OH-) which can accept protons from water, resulting in the formation of hydroxide ions and free hydrogen ions (H+). This is why a base is known to form hydrogen ions in water.


What types of ions does hydrogen form?

Hydrogen can form cations (H+) or anions (H-). However, in most chemical reactions, hydrogen typically forms cations by donating its single electron.


A substance that forms hydroxide ions?

If a substance has more hydrogen ions than hydroxyl ions it causes the substance to be acidic on the pH scale, and vice versa. Hydrogen ions have a positive charge while hydroxyl has an negative.
