Chapter 14, Problem 3RQ
Define or illustrate the meaning of the following terms:
a. amphoteric
b. Kw reaction
c. Kw equilibrium constant
d. pH
e. pOH
f. pKw
Give the conditions for a neutral aqueous solution at 25°C, in terms of [H+], pH, and the relationship between [H+] and [OH−]. Do the same for an acidic solution and for a basic solution. As a solution becomes more acidic, what happens to pH, pOH, [H+], and [OH−]? As a solution becomes more basic, what happens to pH, pOH, [H+], and [OH−]?
