Question

What will happen to the concentration of H^+ ions in a solution if NaOH is added to water

Answer 1

Explanation:

When NaOH is dissolved in water, being ionic in nature NaOH will dissociate into $Na^{+}$ and $OH^{-}$. Therefore, there will be increase in the number of hydroxide ions in the solution.

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of $H^{+}$ or hydrogen ions will decrease.

Answer 2

Explanation:

When NaOH is dissolved in water, being ionic in nature NaOH will dissociate into  and . Therefore, there will be increase in the number of hydroxide ions in the solution.

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of  or hydrogen ions will decrease.
