Explanation:
Relation between pH and concentration of hydrogen ions is as follows.
pH = ![-log [H^{+}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-log%20%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D)
So, it means that an increase in the value of pH will show that there occurs a decrease in concentration of hydrogen ions.
Therefore, the solution becomes basic in nature.
On the other hand, a decrease in the value of pH will show that there occurs an increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions.
Therefore, the solution becomes more acidic in nature.
Hence, if the pH of a solution is decreased from pH 8 to pH 6 it means that the concentration of hydrogen ions has increased in the solution.
Shielding electrons are the electrons in the energy levels between the nucleus and the valence electrons. They are called "shielding" electrons because they "shield" the valence electrons from the force of attraction exerted by the positive charge in the nucleus. Hope this helps!!
OH- is common to bases.
Explanation:
The base is a is an ionic compounds which when placed in aqueous solution dissociates in to a cation and an anion OH-.
The presence of OH- in the solution shows that the solution is basic or alkaline.
From Bronsted and Lowry concept base is a molecule that accepts a proton for example in NaOH, Na is a proton donor and OH is the proton acceptor.
A base accepts hydrogen ion and the concentration of OH is always higher in base.
There is a presence of conjugate acid and conjugate base in the Bronsted and Lowry acid and base.
Conjugate acid is one which is formed when a base gained a proton.
Conjugate base is one which is formed when an acid looses a proton.
And from the Arrhenius base Theory, the base is one that dissociates in to water as OH-.
