73% Answer Correctly

second

first

fourth

third


Solution

5

Which of the following substances gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water?

42% Answer Correctly

base

hydrogen

ion

acid


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.
