A hydrogen and a hydroxide ion can also join together to form a water molecule. In pure water, hydrogen and hydroxide ions are present in a 1:1 ratio since the only source of these ions is the ionization of water. Acids and bases are substances which change the balance of hydrogen and hydroxide ions in water. In this lesson, we will first explore the chemistry of acids and bases, then we will show how to calculate their concentration mathematically.
