Include a chemical equation for each ion reacting with water.
Arrhenius postulated that acids produce hydrogen ions in aqueous solution, whereas bases produce hydroxide ion.
True or false
pH = −log[H+] where [H+] is the hydrogen ion concentration, measured in moles per liter. Solutions with a pH-value of less than 7 are acidic; solutions with a pH-value of greater than 7 are basic; solutions with a pH-value of 7 (such as pure water) are neutral.
