What happens to the hydroxide ion concentration in water when a base is added?
No. A base decreases the amount of hydronium, and increases the amount of hydroxide.
What happens when you add base to water?
When a base is mixed into water, the pH of the water increases. The pH measures the hydrogen activity in the water. During the self-ionization of water, an H2O molecule loses one of its hydrogen nuclei (deprotonization), and becomes a hydroxide ion, or OH-. The free hydrogen nucleus immediately protonates another water molecule, which becomes hydronium, or H3O+. The balance between hydroxide and hydronium is what pH measures. When the pH increases (making the water more basic), there is an increase in hydroxide, and a decrease in hydronium. When the pH decreases (making the water more acidic), there is a decrease in hydroxide and an increase in hydronium. Bases affect this process by accepting protons or donating hydroxide ions. When the bases accept hydrogen protons, this lowers the amount of hydronium in the water, thus affecting the pH. Adding hydroxide ions also affects the pH. Acids do the opposite, they can donate protons or accept hydroxide ions.
Explain what happens when sodium hydroxide solution is added to ammonium hydroxide?
No reaction takes place. pH of the solution increase.
What happens to the concentration of hydroxide ions in an alkaline solution on repeated dilution?
The number decreses and the pH lowers
What happens with an increase in the solute concentration of the filtrate in the lumen of the nephron tubules?
it will increase osmolarity of the filtrate
What happens to the hydroxide ion concentration in water when a base is added?
No. A base decreases the amount of hydronium, and increases the amount of hydroxide.
What happens when you add a base and water?
I think that the amount of hydronium ions goes down and the number of hydroxide ions goes up.
What happens when pH is lowered?
The amount of hydronium ions increase and the solution becomes more acidic.
Why water is netural in pH scale?
pH is the negative logarithm of the molar concentration of dissolved hydronium ions. a low pH indicates a high concentration of hydronium ions, while a high pH indicates a low concentration. water happens to be very close to 7.0 so it is considered neutral

When a n acid dissolves in water what happens?
When an acid dissolves in water, it ionizes, meaning it breaks apart into ions. The hydrogen ions (H+) from the acid combine with water molecules to form hydronium ions (H3O+). This results in an increase in the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution, making it acidic.

What happens to the concentration of glucose in urine as the number of glucose carriers increase?
concentration of glucose in the urine decreases.
What happens if you mix distilled water and sodium hydroxide?
Sodium hydroxide simply becomes ionized in water, no reaction will occur. And the concentration of NaOH will be reduced, if enough water is added.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SODIUM AND CHLORIDE IF THE SALT WATER IS HEATED?
The concentration of sodium chloride increase.
