Question
Chapter 6, Problem 27A
Summary Introduction
To write:
The relationship between acid and base.
Introduction:
Solutions are homogeneous mixtures formed when a solute is dissolved in a solvent. There are two components in a solution- solvent and solute. The solvent is a substance in which another substance is dissolved. A solute is a substance that is dissolved in the solvent.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
When a substance that contains hydrogen is dissolved in water, it may release a hydrogen ion (H+) because it is attached to the negatively charged oxygen atoms in water. Acids are the substances that release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. The more hydrogen ions a substance releases, the more acidic is the solution. Similarly, bases are the substances that release hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. The more hydroxide ions a substance releases, the more basic is the solution. The strength of an acid or base is determined by the amount of hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions in a solution.
Conclusion
Acids are substances that release hydrogen ions while bases are substances that release hydroxide ions. Acids and bases are key substances in biology.

Drug X was developed to reduce blurred vision in healthy patients, but the effectiveness had not been tested on those suffering from multiple sclerosis. A study was conducted to determine if Drug X is effective at reducing blurry vision in multiple sclerosis patients. To be considered effective, a drug must reduce blurred vision by more than 30% in patients. Researchers predicted that a 20 mg dose of the drug would be effective for treating blurred vision in multiple sclerosis patients by reducing blurred vision by more than 30%. Drug X was administered to groups of multiple sclerosis patients at three doses (10 mg/day, 20 mg/day, 30 mg/day) for three weeks. A fourth group of patients was given a placebo containing no drug X for the same length of time. Vision clarity was measured for each patient before and after the three-week period using a standard vision test. The results were analyzed and graphed (See Figure…arrow_forward
