Students have asked these similar questions
The acidity of a solution is measured by its pH.
If Ht represents the concentration of hydrogen ions (in moles/liter) in the solution,
the pH is defined by pH
- log Ht|
Based on careful measurements and calculations, a chemist examines two solutions and asserts:
"The hydrogen ion concentration of Solution A
is 65.86% greater than the hydrogen ion concentration of Solution B."
If the pH of solution B is 10.00, determine the pH of Solution A.
Report your answer to two decimal places.
Solution A has pH equal to
Number
(Report to the nearest 0.01)
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
A solution is prepared by dissolving ammonium nitrate in water. Is this solution acidic or basic? Explain your answer and write the chemical equilibria.If you want to make the solution have a neutral pH, which of the following could be added to achieve this result: HCl, NaCl, or KOH. Explain your answer.
