Answer:

Hydroxide ion concentration in bleach is higher because one of the active ingredients is sodium hypochlorite which gives the name to the compound bleach has both Hydronium ions and Hydroxide ions. In case of the hydronium ions the number of Ions that is present in bleach is about 1/10 -12 while in case of Hydroxide ions the number of Ions present in breach are about 1/10-2 ions. Which means that the higher substance is hydroxide ion.

Step-by-step explanation:

An active ingredient sodium hypochlorite which gives the name to the compound bleach has both Hydronium ions and Hydroxide ions . In case of the hydronium ions the number of Ions that is present in bleach is About 1 /10 -12 while in case of Hydroxide ions the number of Ions present in breach are about 1/10-2 ions.

Hence from the numbers we can say the number of Ions that are more in bleach is that of hydroxide having a difference of about 10 ions.
