Acids, Bases and pH Scales
solved in water and the resulting solution is an electrolyte. A base is any substance that produces hydroxide ions, when dissolved in water; they are also called alkali. This theory was able to explai ... and bases neutralize acids.-Acids release a hydrogen ion into aqueous solution and bases release a hydroxide ion.-The hydrogen ion of the acid and the hydroxide ion of the base unite to form water.-A ...

The Relationship between Heat and Amount of Reaction
n (i.e. HCl) is mixed with a solution of a base (i.e. NaOH), hydrogen ions from the acid react with hydroxide ions from the base, thereby forming water. This reaction causes heat to be released, resul ... eriment, several reaction mixtures will be made, each containing various concentrations of acid and hydroxide solutions. As the volumes of the reaction mixtures are the same, the temperature changes a ...
