Acidic and alkaline solutions can conduct electricity because they have ions that are free to carry charge. Look at the formulae of these acids. They all contain H + ions.

Figure 1. Reference molecule for definition of Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases. Water behaves as both an acid and a base. When water behaves as an acid, it donates one of its two protons and becomes a ...

Researchers in Korea have successfully developed a new material that significantly enhances the efficiency of green hydrogen ...

Water uptake (30 °C) and hydroxide ion conductivities (40 °C) of the QPE-bl-1 membranes were measured in water and are plotted as a function of IEC in Figure 4. Water uptake of the QPE-bl-1 ...

The electrodes remove boron from desalinated water by splitting molecules into ions. Hydroxide ions bind to boron, which adheres to positive electrodes, ensuring safer drinking water production.

A few drops of dilute sodium hydroxide solution react to form a white precipitate with aluminium ions, calcium ions and magnesium ions. However, if excess sodium hydroxide solution is added ...
