If there is a membrane with a high concentration of H+ on the left, and a lower concentration on the right, with a H+ pump maintaining this; would the polarity of molecules on the right of the membrane be affected? I've searched on Google but nothing seems to come up. Thanks for your help!

This is interesting. If this situation existed, then polar molecules would likely align themselves with the membrane. Non-polar molecules would not become polar unless they can react with the hydrogen ions to produce a new substance.

This is just my thinking - no specific ideas even though I teach chemistry in high school.

the top that the liquid rises is immediately proportional to floor rigidity, and the greater the molecules of the liquid choose to adhere to a minimum of one yet another (quite than sticking to the aspects of the tube) the better the exterior rigidity would be. It rather relies upon on the character of the fabric, yet truthfully larger polarity can effect in larger degree of hydrogen bonding which might reason a larger degree of intermolecular bonding and a greater effective interplay between molecules. This explains why, case in point, water has its severe floor rigidity (and severe boiling element). It additionally ability that the better the polarity, the better up the tube the liquid will upward thrust. inspite of the undeniable fact that, it is a very huge generalisation.

The polarity will not be affected because it is an intrinsic property of the molecule. The molecule may ionize but that's not the same thing.

call a scientist or a college.
