Question

Can someone tell me what ions can be found in an acidic and a basic solution? please explain what they mean :-)

Answer 1

okay what do ya need help with:)

Answer 2

I'm doing my chemistry project which is about acids and bases, my teacher gave me this things that I need to talk about in my project:

1. Properties
2. Ions
3. Ion product constant for water
4. Kw
5. pH/pOH - calculations
6. Neutralization rxn
7. Indicators
8. Buffers in a human body

I already have the first slide but, I cannot understand well the what do I have to look for on the second slide :( I don't know what to write!

Answer 4

acidic solutions contain more hydrogen ions that hydroxide ions, but there are very many ions that can cause hydrogen ions to be in excess - for instance the hydrogen-sulphate ion (from an acid salt such as sodium hydrogen-sulphate) when added to water has a tendancy to split into hydrogen and sulphate ions, so making the solution acidic. Not all acid salts are acid in soultion - for instance sodium hydrogen-carbonate is alkaline. When dissolved in water, the hydrogen-carbonate ion tends to react with hydrogen ions n the water to form molecular carbonic acid - removing hydrogen ions from the • water and hence making it alkaline. Acid salts of strong acids, such as sulphuric, hydrochloric, nitric, are acidic in solution.

Answer 5

Acid salts of weak acids, such as carbonic, sulphurous, are alkaline in solution

Answer 6

does that help?

Answer 7

Yeah! Everything helps lol :p did you find it on the Internet? :o @bbcream14 It's because she asked for us to cite the webpages that we visited

Answer 8

yes i did to tell you the truth:) and it is http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Which_ion_causes_a_solution_to_be_acidic?#slide=13

Answer 9

Thank you very much!! @bbcream14
