3. Production of Ions

Acids produce _____ when dissolved in solution; Bases produce ______

Testing pH measures ______ concentration

[H+] refers to the number of _______________ in a specific volume of solution.

When separate solutions containing H+ and OH- are combined, they react forming

[H+]
[OH-]
Notice how H+ and OH- change simultaneously. As H+ decreases to the right, OH- increases.
