Negative hydroxide, OH-, is formed though not in excessbut in equal (stoechiometric) or in even smaller amounts (i.c.o. weak bases).

Base molecules gain protons (H+) from water (H2O) thus forming (leaving) OH- ions:

B- + H2O --> HB + OH-

You see that there never can be more OH- formed than base (B-) added.

Bases are solutions which contain an excess of?

hydroxide ions (OH-). When a compound is dissolved in a base, it will accept protons (H+) from the base, forming water and the conjugate acid of the compound. Bases have a pH above 7.


What substances when dissolved separate into charged particles?

Substances that dissociate into charged particles when dissolved in water are known as electrolytes. These include salts, acids, and bases, which dissociate into positive and negative ions that are able to conduct electricity in solution.

When dissolved in water an arrhenius base yields?

When dissolved in water, an Arrhenius base yields hydroxide ions (OH⁻) as the only negative ions in solution. This is because Arrhenius bases are substances that increase the concentration of hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions.


What is produced when acids and bases react?

A salt is produced when an acid and a base react each other.


Compare acids and bases based on the ion produced when each compound is dissolved in water?

Acids- number of hydrogen ions increases when dissolved in water. Bases- number of hydroxide ions increases when dissolved in water I had the same question, but I had it for homework (:
