What happens to the concentration of both H3O+ and OH- ions as water is added to a base?

Chemistry

Answer:

The concentration of H₃O⁺ ions increase whereas the concentration of the OH⁻ decreases.

Explanation:

The water, H₂O, has its own equilibrium thus:

2H₂O(l) ⇄ OH⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

Where the water equilibrium constant, Kw, is defined as:

Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] [H₃O⁺]

The addition of a base represents the increasing of [OH⁻]. that means the concentration of OH⁻ ions.

Based on LeCh principle, in an equilibrium, the addition of a product produce the decreasing in concentration of the other products trying to counteract the effect, that means the concentration of H₃O⁺ ions decreases.

Nuetrik [128]
First you have a knowledge of bond order which is
 B.O=(no. of electrons in bonding orbital - no. of electrons in non-bonding orbital)÷2  
Note:
bond strength is directly proportional to bond order.
For oxygen:
B.O=(6-2)/2= 2; after the removal of two electrons(removal occur from non-bonding orbital)
B.O=(6-0)/2= 3 (As B.O increased bond strength increased)
For Nitrogen:
B.O=(6-0)/2= 3; after the removal of two electrons(removal occur from bonding orbital)
B.O=(4-0)/2= 2 (As B.O decreased bond strength decreased)

Oxidizing acids, such as nitric acid, can explode when mixed with what type of incompatible chemical? air water organic chemical
maxonik [38]

Oxidizing acids, such as nitric acid, can explode when mixed with what type of incompatible chemicals like alcohol, or charcoal.

An oxidizing acid is a Brønsted acid that is a strong oxidizing agent. most Brønsted acids can act as oxidizing agents because the acidic proton can be reduced to hydrogen gas. a few acids include other structures that act as stronger oxidizing agents than hydrogen ions.

Oxidizing acids include concentrated perchloric acid, nitric acid, iodic acid, chromic acid, and the glass cleansing mixture of chromium trioxide and sulfuric acid.
