Sentences with phrase «more hydrogen ions»

Somewhat more difficult: free CO2 is in chemical equilibrium with bicarbonates and carbonates, thus more CO2 gives more of the other and at the same time more hydrogen ions (that is acidity, or in this case less alkalinity).

But more hydrogen ions push the equilibrium back to free CO2.

Not exact matches

In particular, carbonic acid is formed and hydrogen ions are released, and as a result the pH of the ocean surface waters decrease (making them more acidic).

They form transient bonds with the carbon in CO2, making it more willing to bond with hydrogen ions, eventually resulting in the production of methanol.

However, an excess of hydrogen ions builds up even as the body attempts to buffer them, leading to a more acidic environment.

Most other nutrients, on the other hand, are more actively transported - there are certain receptors lining those intestinal cells (cells called enterocytes, if anybody cares) that pull salts, sugars, amino acids, etc. through the intestinal lining into the cells in exchange for other compounds (e.g. they'll pull in a hydrogen ion at the same time as an amino acid, then exchange the new hydrogen atom for a sodium molecule later.)

The higher a liquid's pH, the fewer free hydrogen ions it has; the lower its pH, the more free hydrogen ions it has.

The rationale for Kaatsu is that by depriving the muscles of blood, by products like lactate and hydrogen ions accumulate faster, and are cleared more slowly, creating a stronger signal for muscle growth.

Among the newly funded projects are the development of lithium - ion battery packs for hybrid vehicles, a continuously variable transmission (CVT) for heavy - duty applications; the retrofitting of hydrogen - based diesel... Read more →

The addition of CO2 to the ocean increases the hydrogen - ion activity of ocean waters (decreasing ocean pH), and thus makes the oceans more acidic.

The addition of 1 mol CO2 increases hydrogen - ion activity somewhat more than would a 1 eq reduction in alkalinity.

In that respect, what I find more interesting is the lack of (un) certainty discussion in the text I quoted, although describing «a 26 % increase in hydrogen ion concentration» as «almost 30 % more acidic» is telling.

and as Judith notes, adding CO2 has thus far increased the hydrogen ion concentration in the oceans by 26 % thus rendering them more acidic.

Under normal seawater conditions, more than 99.99 % of the hydrogen ions that are produced will combine with carbonate ion (CO32 ---RRB- to produce additional HCO3 — .

To be more precise, a net effect of the increased CO2 is to increase bicarbonate, carbonate, and hydrogen ion, and the effect of interaction with CaCO3 is that the carbonate ions released from CaCO3 partially compensate for a conversion of dissolved carbonate to bicarbonate.

This is then neutralised when it grabs a hydrogen ion from the silicon in a triethylsilane molecule, producing a safer carbon - hydrogen bond and creating a fresh molecule of silylium to attack more C - F bonds.

Adding more CO2 to sea water thus increases aqueous CO2, bicarbonate and hydrogen ions, the latter having the observed effect of lowering sea water pH, and decreases the abundance of carbonate ions (figure 1).
