According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, anything that donates H+ (or protons) atoms to a solution is an ACID. Hence this defines an acid as a proton donor and a base as a proton acceptor.

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

This is the definition of a base.


What type of ions form in an acid?

In an acid, hydrogen ions (H+) form when the acid donates a proton. This results in the formation of aqueous solutions with a high concentration of H+ ions, making it acidic.


What defined an acid as a substance that produces H plus ions in solution and a base as a substance that produces OH- ions in solution?

The definition you provided is known as the Arrhenius definition of acids and bases. According to this definition, an acid is a substance that donates H+ ions in solution, while a base is a substance that donates OH- ions in solution. This concept helps explain the behavior of acids and bases in aqueous solutions.


What are solutions that have an equal concentration of H plus ions and OH ions considered as?

Solutions with an equal concentration of H+ (hydrogen) ions and OH- (hydroxide) ions are considered as neutral. This is because the H+ and OH- ions will combine to form water (H2O), maintaining a balanced pH level of 7.


What is true about Arrhenius acids?

it donates H+ ions


What are two solutions that have more h plus ions than h- ions?

An arrhenius acid is, by definition, a solution with a higher concentration of H+ ion than OH-.


What accepts H plus ions and removes them from solutions?

bases, eg sodium hydroxide


What two solutions have more H plus ions than OH- ions?

An arrhenius acid is, by definition, a solution with a higher concentration of H+ ion than OH-.


Is it true that solutions that have an equal concentration of H plus ions and OH- are considered acidic?

False - such a solution is considered "neutral"...neither acidic nor alkaline (basic).


What happens to an acid or a base in a water solutions?

In water solutions an acid or a base is diluted depending on the amount of water. But when water is added with an acid or base it also undergoes a condition called chemical equilibrium. For more information on chemical equilibrium check some more wikianswers or look it up on google :L


What is true of a brønsted Lowry acid?

A Bronsted-Lowry acid donates H+ ions


What is true about an Arrhenius acid?

An Arrhenius acid is a substance that, when dissolved in water, increases the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+). This type of acid typically donates a proton (H+) in a chemical reaction.
