Do bases contain hydrogen ions (H+)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dmitrij [34]3 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

What is the volume, in liters, of 0.500 mol of c3h8 gas at stp? (hint..use avogadro’s principle to solve this)?
wolverine [178]
When we are at STP conditions, we can use this conversion: 1 mol= 22.4 L

0.500 mol C₃H₈ (22.4 L/ 1 mol)= 11.2 L

Which conversion factor is needed to solve the following problem?
USPshnik [31]
Molar Volume is required to solve this problem. As we know that "1 mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure occupies 22.4 L of volume". SO using this concept, we can calculate the volume of ammonia formed by reacting 54.1 L of Hydrogen gas as follow,
