A positively charged ion formed when a hydrogen atom loses an electron (H⁺).

The measure of the hydrogen ion (H⁺) concentration of a solution.

The amount of solute dissolved in a certain volume of solution.

An acid which fully dissociates to form H⁺ ions in aqueous solution.

An acid which partially dissociates to form H⁺ ions in aqueous solution.

Comparing concentration with strength

Combined science

In the Electrolysis unit, pupils will build on their understanding of chemical reactions to explore the process of electrolysis and its applications.

In the Acids and Bases unit, pupils learned about the properties of acids, bases, and alkalis, and the reactions between them to form salts and water.

What happens to the pH of a solution if the hydrogen ion concentration increases by a factor of 10?

they measure the temperature of a reaction

they show the colour change in the solution

they allow chemists to pinpoint an accurate end point

the pH changes quickly after the end point is reached
