Acids are donors of protons (H+) and bases are acceptors of protons.
For example:
1) hydrochloric acid (HCl) in reaction with water give one proton to water and become chloride anion (Cl-).
2) ammonia (NH3) Is base, in reaction with water accepts one protone and become ammonium cation (NH4+).
Answer:
Explanation if an object is in motion and more force is applied to it, the object will begin moving faster. If two objects have the same mass and a greater force is applied to one of the objects, the object which receives the greater force will change speeds more quickly.:
Oxygen and Hydrogen would most likely form a covalent bond that is polar, or a polar covalent bond. Due to the electronegativity difference between the 2 elements, unequal sharing of the valence electrons will occur, electrons being in closer proximity to Oxygen and farther away from Hydrogen. Resulting in the characteristic partial positive and negative charges to appear for the respective elements.
pH is an important parameter for many reactions to take place in solution and in biological systems. It is related to the concentration of H⁺ ions through the following expression:
pH = 1/[H⁺] = -log [H⁺]
Wanting to know the pH of a solution is equivalent to knowing the amount of hydrogen ions present. But the pH scale is more convenient than the concentration scale because pH usually takes values between 0 and 14.
- When pH < 7 the solution is acid.
- When pH = 7 the solution is neutral (like pure water).
- When pH > 7 the solution is basic.
