The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14.
True
What does Kw quantify?
Water equilibrium
If [H+] increases, what happens to [OH-]?
It decreases
What is the value of Kw at 25°C?
1.0 x 10^-14
What is the equation relating pH, pOH, and Kw?
pH + pOH = 14
What does pOH measure in a solution?
Alkalinity
What is the formula to calculate pH from hydrogen ion concentration [H+]?
pH = -log10[H+]
What is the pH of pure water?
7
Match the term with its definition:
pH ↔️ Measures acidity or alkalinity
pOH ↔️ Measures alkalinity
Kw ↔️ Ion product constant for water
What is the formula to calculate pOH from hydroxide ion concentration [OH-]?
pOH = -log10[OH-]
The relationship between pH and pOH is given by the equation: pH + pOH =
14
Match the variable in the Arrhenius equation with its meaning:
Kw(T) ↔️ Ion product constant at temperature T
Kw(25°C) ↔️ Ion product constant at 25°C
ΔH° ↔️ Standard enthalpy change
R ↔️ Ideal gas constant
T ↔️ Temperature in Kelvin
The Kw of water is used to determine the pH of a solution and the relative concentrations of H+ and
OH-
Both pH and
Kw
are essential for understanding and optimizing chemical reactions.
True
What is the value of Kw at 25°C?
1.0 x 10^-14
The value of Kw is [H+][OH-] =
1.0 x 10^-14
What is the formula to calculate pH from [H+]?
pH = -log10[H+]
pOH is calculated using the formula: pOH = -log10[OH-], where [OH-] is the hydroxide ion
concentration
Kw at 35°C is approximately
1.53 x 10^-14
What does pH indicate in a solution?
Acidity or alkalinity
Match the condition with its corresponding pH and pOH ranges:
Acidic ↔️ pH < 7, pOH > 7
Neutral ↔️ pH = 7, pOH = 7
Alkaline ↔️ pH > 7, pOH < 7
A solution with a [H+] of 1.0 x 10^-3 M has a pH of
3
.
What is the pH of a solution with [H+] = 1.0 x 10^-3 M?
3
What is the modified Arrhenius equation used for in the context of Kw calculations?
Calculating Kw at different temperatures
Match the pH value with the corresponding condition:
pH < 7 ↔️ Acidic
pH = 7 ↔️ Neutral
pH > 7 ↔️ Alkaline
At 25°C, the value of Kw is 1.0 x
10^-14
.
True
The pH scale ranges from
0
to 14.
In pure water, [H+] =
[OH-]
.
True
Match the condition with the corresponding pH and pOH values:
Neutral ↔️ pH = 7, pOH = 7
Acidic ↔️ pH < 7, pOH > 7
Alkaline ↔️ pH > 7, pOH < 7
Kw is the ion product constant for water, defined as Kw =
1.0 x 10^-14
The pH formula tells us how acidic or alkaline a solution is based on the concentration of hydrogen
ions
What is the numerical value of Kw at 25°C?
1.0 x 10^-14
What is the formula to calculate pH from hydrogen ion concentration [H+]?
pH = -log10[H+]
What equation relates pH, pOH, and Kw?
pH + pOH = 14
In acidic conditions, pH is less than 7 and pOH is greater than 7.
True
What does pH indicate about a solution?
Acidity or alkalinity
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, where 7 is
neutral
.
True
What does pH measure?
Acidity or alkalinity
If [H+] increases, [OH-] must decrease to maintain
Kw
.
True
Match the condition with its corresponding pH range:
Neutral ↔️ pH = 7
Acidic ↔️ pH < 7
Alkaline ↔️ pH > 7
