If I add hydronium ion (H 3 O+) or Hydrogen Ions (H+) to a solution,
assuming no other complications, what will happen to the pH reading? And
what will happen to a pOH reading?
The solution will be acidic if it contains a greater concentration of hydronium ions and acidic if it contains a greater concentration of hydrogen ions. So High concentrations of hydrogen lead to low pH(acidic) whereas low levels of hydrogen ions result in in a high pH(basic)
