Do bases contain hydrogen ions (H+)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dmitrij [34]4 years ago
6 0

One definition of an acid is a molecule that can donate a H+ ion. So for example if you have an acid such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) in water, HCl will donate it's H+ to the H2O molecule, forming Cl- and H3O+.  

In contrast, a base is a molecule that accepts H+ ions. This means a base such as NH3 reacts with H2O to form OH- and NH4.

So when pH is measured, it is the ratio of H3O+ ions to OH- ions. If there are more H3O+ ions, you then know that there are more acidic molecules in the solution, since they must be giving away their H+ ions.  

So a solution with an acid in it will have more H3O+ ions (which can be described as H+ ions) in it. However, an acid by itself will have nothing to donate H+ ions to.

hope this helps also please make me the brainliest

I need help on 18b. i’m confused on how you would work it.
AfilCa [17]
For a and b, you need to divide it by Avogadro’s number to find the answer.

a. (6.022x10^23)/6.022x10^23 = 1 mole of Ne
b. (3.011x10^23)/6.022x10^23 = 0.5 moles of Mg

For c and d, you’ll use the mass provided divided by the molar mass to find the number of moles.
Pb molar mass = 207.2 g/mol

c. (3.25x10^5)/207.2 = 1.57x10^3 moles of Pb
For d, I can’t tell if is Cu, C or something else but you can follow the steps above to solve the problem.

Balance the following equation. Then determine the mole ratio of Ca(OH)2:Al(OH)3. Al2(SO4)3 + Ca(OH)2 Al(OH)3 + CaSO4
anygoal [31]
To balance the reaction, we look at the number of atoms of each element we have. It should be equal for both sides. The balanced reaction is:
<span>
Al2(SO4)3 + 3Ca(OH)2 =  2Al(OH)3 + 3CaSO4

The ratio of calcium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide is 3:2.</span>
