albertlee Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 when we pump H gas into the water, will it form water with the OH- ions??? If so, why??? By the way, where do the remainning electrons given by H gas go?? Albert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silencer Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Where did these OH- ions come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertlee Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 OH- comes from water...... water contains H+ and OH- ions, that are being attracted by the large amount of H2O molecules...... By the way, Any help to my first message? Albert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I don't think the OH- has the potential to break up an H-H bond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silencer Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Something I'm missing here? How did the water magically split into OH- and H+? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdurg Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Something I'm missing here? How did the water magically split into OH- and H+? Every 1.0x10^-7 moles of water per liter of water will dissociate into H+ and OH-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Yeah, jdurg covered it quite well. Water molecules are like... err, zombies. They tear each other apart all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 it's just simple dissociation; you see it happen with water and ionic solutes in water for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertlee Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 so, any body refer to my first message??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWJian Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I think nothing will happen since hydrogen has a VERY low solubility in water and the molecular hydrogen are not in the form of ions,it will not react with the OH- ions. Atomic hydrogen might work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
