Question

What happens to the concentration of hydroxide ions, if water is added?

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that OH - ions are basic. If we add water to it, the general solution will get diluted, which increases he concentration of OH- ions. I, but it will increase the OH- ions.

Answer 2

Answer:

If a base is added to pure water, the reverse is true. When the concentration of hydroxide ions in a solution increases the hydronium ion concentration must decrease. In this case [H3O+] < [OH-] and the solution is considered basic.
