What is a substance containing molecules and ions?

Water: H2O molecules, H+ and OH- ions


Why do all substances containing OH- ions are considered as bases?

The definition of an Arrehnius base is an ionic compound that contains more OH- ions than H+ ions when dissolved in water. The Bronsted-Lowry (more general) definition of a base is any substance that readily recieves protons. OH- ions very easily recieve protons (H+) to become H2O.


What kind of ions does a base substance form in water?

A base substance forms hydroxide ions (OH-) in water. This occurs when the base substance donates OH- ions to the water molecules, increasing the concentration of hydroxide ions in the solution.


What is and acid?

Acid: A substance that can donate H+ ions. Alkali: A substance that can donate OH- ions.


What is acid and allkaline?

Acid: A substance that can donate H+ ions. Alkali: A substance that can donate OH- ions.


What either accept H plus ions from solutions or donates OH- ions to solutions?

This is the definition of a base.


A n is a substance that either contains hydroxide ions OH- or reacts with water to form hydroxide ions?

Bronsted-Lowry's BASES are a substance that either contains hydroxide ions OH- or reacts with water to form hydroxide ions.


Is it true that a substance with equal numbers of H ions and OH- ions is a basic solution?

No, a substance with equal numbers of H+ ions and OH- ions is not necessarily a basic solution. In fact, a solution with equal concentrations of H+ and OH- ions is considered neutral, with a pH of 7. Basic solutions have a higher concentration of OH- ions compared to H+ ions, resulting in a pH greater than 7.


A substance that releases OH plus ions in solution is a?

acidic


Is a substance with equal numbers of H ions of OH - ions an alkaline solution?

Yes, a substance with equal numbers of H+ ions and OH- ions is an alkaline solution because it has a pH greater than 7. The presence of equal numbers of H+ and OH- ions indicates a neutralization reaction, forming water as a product.


What kind of ions do bases produce in a substance?

Bases dissociate to produce hydroxide (OH-) ions


What is the name of a substance that produces OH- ions in a solution?

A substance that produces OH- ions in a solution is called a base. Bases are usually compounds that dissociate in solution to release hydroxide ions (OH-) which can accept protons. Examples of bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).
