What best describes what the metal cation does when a strong base ionizes? It combines with the OH$^-$ and reduces the pH. It is a necessary product affecting $K_b$. It may interfere with auto ionization of water, affecting pH. It has no effect on the pH.

Suppose a water bases solution has a ph of 6, a compound is added to the solution that binds to hydroxide ions. What impact would this have on the ph of the solution? Select all that apply. 1. ph would become more alkaline 2. solution would become less acidic 3. ph would become more basic 4. ph would increase 5. solution becomes more acidic 6 . ph would decrease
