The
pH
scale is
logarithmic
, meaning that the difference between two values on the scale represents a tenfold change.
The
pH
scale is
logarithmic
, meaning that each whole number change represents a tenfold increase or decrease.
Acids
have more H+ than OH- ions, resulting in a
lower
pH value.
A solution with a pH of
7
is neutral (neither acidic nor
alkaline
).
A solution with a pH of
7
is
neutral
because it contains equal amounts of hydrogen (H+) and hydroxide (OH-) ions.
Acids
have a pH less than
7
, while bases/alkalis have a pH greater than 7.
A solution with a pH value of
7
is neutral (neither
acidic
nor basic).
Strong acids completely dissociate into
H+ ions
when they are dissolved in
water
, while weak acids only partially dissociate.
Acidic
solutions have
lower
pH values than neutral ones, while alkaline or basic solutions have higher pH values.
A solution with a pH value of
7
is
neutral
because it contains an equal concentration of hydrogen (H+) and hydroxide (OH-) ions.
Bases have more
OH-
than
H+
ions, resulting in a higher pH value.
Acids
have a higher concentration of H+ ions than OH- ions, resulting in a
lower
pH value.
Neutral
substances have equal numbers of H+ and OH-, resulting in a pH value close to
7.
Strong
acids
completely
dissociate
into their component ions when they are dissolved in water.
Bases have a
higher
concentration of OH- ions than H+ ions, resulting in a
higher
pH value.
Bases contain more
OH-
ions than
H+
ions, leading to higher pH values.
Strong acids completely
dissociate
into
hydrogen
ions and anions when dissolved in water.
Bases
are substances that contain more OH- ions than H+ ions, resulting in a
higher
pH value.
Weak
acids
only partially dissociate into
hydrogen
ions and anions when dissolved in water.
Alkalis
are bases that dissolve in water to form solutions with high
pH
levels.
An example of an
acid
is lemon juice, which has a pH between 2 and
3.
Weak acids only partially dissociate into their component ions when they are
dissolved
in
water.
The strength of an
acid
can be determined by measuring the amount of
H+
ions produced when it reacts with water.
The
pH
scale ranges from 0 to 14, where 0 represents the
strongest acids
and 14 represents the strongest bases.
Bases are also known as
alkalis
and can be found in household products such as
washing soda crystals
, ammonia, bleach, and oven cleaner.
Strong acids
completely ionize
in aqueous solutions, while
weak acids
only partially ionize.
Weak acids do not produce enough H+ ions to turn litmus paper
red
or blue litmus paper
pink.
The pH scale measures the
acidity
or alkalinity of a substance on a logarithmic scale from 0 to
14.
Neutral
substances have a pH of
7
on this scale.
The pH scale ranges from 0 to
14
, where 0 represents the
strongest acid
and 14 represents the strongest base.
An indicator is used to determine whether an unknown substance is an acid or base by changing color depending on its
pH
level.
Alkali metals
react vigorously with water to produce metal hydroxides and
hydrogen gas.
When strong
acids
react with metals, they release
hydrogen
gas.
An increase of one unit on the pH scale represents a
tenfold
change in the concentration of
hydrogen
ions.
Neutral
substances have a pH of
7.
Neutral
substances have a pH value of
7.
The pH scale ranges from 0 to
14
, where 0 represents the most acidic substance and
14
represents the most alkaline/basic substance.
Weak acids do not fully
ionize
in
water
, meaning that there will be some undissociated molecules present in addition to the H+ ions.
Weak acids do not fully ionize in
water
, resulting in fewer
hydrogen
ions compared to strong acids.
The strength of an
acid
can be determined by measuring the amount of
hydrogen ions
present in its solution.
