I have two questions regarding this topic:
If we add small amount of NaOH in water, the reactions that takes place is NaOH --> Na+ + OH-. The amount of OH- increases. But if we look the concentration of H3O+, it should be lower, after we add NaOH in water. But there is no H3O+ in reaction. What happen with the H3O+(amount that has gone after we add base)?
And second questions(not connected to previous): Why can addition of small base cannot ionize even very weak acids(like for example aliphatic alcohols)? Because if we have for example some weak acid in water, and there is 0,1% of it in ionized form, when we add base(even if it is weak), we add OH- ions in solution which should react with H4
30+ ions to form water, which would than force a little more of acid to ionize(so there would be 0,1 %ionised), and whit enough addition, the whole amount of weak acid should be ionised?
