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.

What is the difference between the atomic number and the mass number of an element?
DedPeter [7]

Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, and it tells us about the mass of the atom in amu, or atomic mass units. Atomic mass is the average mass of all the isotopes of a certain type. It is a weighted average that takes into account the abundances of all of the different isotopes

hope this helps :)

The organic compounds that are divided into two types, simple and complex, are called _____.
Sati [7]

The organic compounds that are divided into two types, simple and complex, are called carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are diveded into twy types: simple and complex (starches, fiber, glycogen).

Simple carbohydrates are made of one (monosaccaharides) or two sugar units.

Complex carbohydrates are made up of many sugar units.

For example, glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is a simple carbohydrate.

Glucose is chemical compound composed of six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms.

Starch is a polymeric carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units bonded by glycosidic bond. Starch is a white, tasteless and odorless powder that is insoluble in cold water or alcohol.

Select all the true statements regarding chemical equilibrium.
gladu [14]
Chemical equilibrium is reach when the concentrations of the product and reactants will no longer change with time. this does not mean that there is no change in concentration, only the net change is zero. the forward rate of reaction is now equal to backward rate of reaction.

Is it possible for the equivalence point of a titration to not be at pH 7? Explain your answer.
lara31 [8.8K]
<span>The reason it will be 7 for some titrations is that when you  titrates a strong acid with a strong base for example  HCl and NaOH the salt formed is conjugate base of strong acid and will be a very weak base
 That means that it cannot produce any OH^-1 and all the H+ has been converted to water.The only source of H+ or OH is water with a Ka of 10^-14 so the pH = -log [H+]=-log 10^-7 = 7 
second reason is 
When you titrates a weak acid with strong base at equivalence point 
only a water solution of the conjugate base exists 

CH3COOH + NaOH ----- Na+ CH3COO^-1 + H2O 
Since the conjugate base is the conjugate base of a weak acid it will hydrolyze in water like so 
for instance Na+ CH3COO^-1 + HCl---- CH3COOH + NaCl the equivalence point will be way BELOW 7 and in the case of above will be less than 5. So pH of 7 at equivalence point is only reached in strong acid strong base titrations.
hope this helps</span>
