Any solution that has a pH level higher then seven is going to contain the higher concentrations of hydroxide. The gastric acid located in the stomach has very high concentrations of hydroxide.

∙ 8y agoBases contain a larger number of hydroxide (OH-) ions than hydrogen ions.
For example, NaOH is a strong base, in a water solution it dissociates:
NaOH --> Na+ + OH- . As you can see from the reaction, in the solution hydroxide ions get released and their concentration, therefore, increases.
For example, NaOH is a base, it dissociates in water: NaOH --> Na+ + OH-
As you can see, hydroxyde ions get released and their concentration, therefore, increases.

How are the concentrations of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions related?
The pH of a solution is related directly to its concentrations of hydronium ions(H3O^+) and hydroxide ions(OH-). Acidic solutions have more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions. Neutral solutions have equal numbers of the 2 ions. Basic solutions have more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions.
What would happen to the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution of a strong acid if an equal number of hydroxide ions were added to the solution?
It produces a neutral salt along with water
The reason pure water has a pH of 7 is that there is the same concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions on the self-ionization of water?
true
How do hydroxide and hydrogen ions relate to acids and bases?
An acid is defined as a proton (Hydrogen ion) donor. An acid has a high concentration of Hydrogen ions. For example Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) is a strong acid which dissociates as below: HCl --> H+ + Cl- A base is defined as a proton (Hydrogen ion) acceptor, as it has a high concentration of hydroxide (OH-) ions. These OH- ions can then react with H+ ions in a solution to form water, thus removing hydrogen ions from the solution and causing it to become more basic. In a neutralisation reaction between an alkali such as NaOH and an acid such as HCl : NaOH + HCl --> NaCl + H2O The ionic equation is: OH- + H+ --> H2O The base, NaOH has accepted a proton from HCl, whilst the acid, HCl has donated a proton to the NaOH. Water is formed, and the remaining ions Na+ and Cl- form an aqueous solution of NaCl.
How many ions does potassium hydroxide have?
Potassium hydroxide is an ionic lattice. It has two types of ions and namely they are potassium ions and hydroxyl ions.
What elevate pH?
A high pH meaning is a high concentration of the hydroxide ions.
When a base forms hydroxide ions there is an increase in concentration of what ion?
Hydroxide Ions
Is it true that The pH scale measures the concentration of hydroxide ions?
No, pH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions. pOH would measure hydroxide concentration.
Does the pH scale indicate the consentration of hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions?
pH stands for power of hydrogen and indicates concentration of Hydrogen ions. pOH indicates concentration of hydroxide ions.
What is true about the relative concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions in an acid solution?
In an acidic solution, the relative concentration of hydronium ions will always be higher than hydroxide ions. This means that the relatively concentration of hydroxide ions will always be lower than hydronium ions in an acidic solution. The reason for this is that in a neutral solution, the concentration of both hydronium ions and hydroxides ions are equal (both are 10-7). By making the concentration of hydronium ions greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions, the solution becomes acidic.
What is the PH of a solution in which the concentration of hydroxide ions is greater than the concentration of hydrogen ions?
< 7
Why is the concentration of hydrogen or hydroxide ions in blood plasma or cell cytoplasm critical?
The concentration of hydrogen or hydroxide ions in blood plasma and cell cytoplasm is critical. These hydrogen and hydroxide ions can be combined to form water.
How is the pH determined?
By the concentration of hydrogen and/or hydroxide ions. For example, water (H2O) has an equal concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. Hence, it is neutral (pH 7).
Which hydroxide compound yields the lowest concentration of hydroxide ions in aqueous solution?
magnesium hydroxide
How is the concentration of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions related in aqueous solutions?
Hydrogen ions: pH under 7.Hydroxide ions: pH over 7.
The strength of acid is based on the concentration of ions?
hydroxide
What is the molar concentration of hydroxide ions in the pH of 6?
