Question
Chapter 2.4, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
In what way, acids and bases affect H+ concentration of a solution.
Introduction:
H+ is nothing but the simplest form of proton and mostly dissolved in water. Excess or less amount of H+ can affect the cell activities and its functions. Hence, cells require an optimum pH. Pure water is the main source for H+ ions because a number of water molecules are broken down into produce one hydrogen ion (H+) and one hydroxide ion (OH−).
In a neutral solution, the number of hydrogen ions is equal to the number of hydroxide ions.
