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.

ABSTRACT. The effect of three doses of prednisolone and ACTH respectively on the weight of the body, the lungs and the hilar lymph nodes was studied on rats killed one month after the intratracheal (i.t.) injection of 50 mg of fine-particulate quartz.rednisolone causes the rats to become cachectic and reduces the weight of the hilar lymph nodes. It also retards the transport of quartz dust from the lungs via the lymphatics. All these effects increase with increasing doses of prednisolone.
