Interpretation:
The
Concept introduction:
pH gives the concentration of hydrogen ion in a solution.
It tells about acidity and basicity of a solution.
It is given by:
Answer to Problem 62A
On increasing the amount of water, hydrogen and hydroxyl ion concentration increases. The increase in hydroxyl ion decreases the acidity of solution.
Explanation of Solution
In strong acid if concentration of solution is greater than
Thus,
On addition of water, the volume of solution gets doubled which reduces the concentration to half.
Therefore,
Thus,
Again on doubling the volume,
Thus,
The
Increase in amount of water in a strong acid decreases the acidic strength.
