The H+ ions moves outside the mitochondria of the cell if the concentration of H ions were higher inside the mitochondrion than outside environment of the mitochondrion in order to equalize the pH or H+ ions concentration of both inner side of mitochondria and outer side environment. This movement of H+ ions from a region of higher concentration to the region of lower through a semi-permeable membrane is known as osmosis which has a positive effect on the cell as well as organelles of the cell.
