An aqueous solution has a pH of 3.75. What is the hydronium ion concentration of the solution? Is it acidic or basic?
Acidity of a solution is determined by the concentration H of hydrogen ions in the solution (measured in moles per liter of solution). Chemists use the negative of the logarithm of the concentration of
hydrogen ions to define the pH scale, as shown in the following formula.
pH = -log (H)
Lower pH values indicate a more acidic solution.
(a) Normal rain has a pH value of 5.6. Rain in the eastern United States often has a pH level of 3.8. How much more acidic is this than normal rain? (Round your answer to two decimal
places.)
63.10
times as acidic as normal rain
(b) If the pH of water in a lake falls below a value of 5, fish often fail to reproduce. How much more acidic is this than normal water with a pH of 5.6? (Round your answer to two decimal
places.)
* times as acidic as normal water
If an acid loses all of its hydrogens in water, is it strong or weak?

- The scale used for measuring the acidity or basicity of a solution is known as the pH scale. Typically you will see values ranging from 0 to 14, however it is possible to produce highly acidic solutions with a lower pH or a highly basic solution with a higher pH. A neutral solution has an equivalent concentration of hydronium and hydroxide ions, which has a pH of 7 at 25 °C. A pH less than 7 indicates that a solution is an acid, and a pH greater than / Indicates that a solution is a base. Click on the image below to explore this simulation, which demonstrates the pH scale.
