What is the meaning that the pH of a solution is 4.5?
It means that its an Acid. pH < 7 is acidic. pH > 7 is basic. pH = 7 is neutral.
Does a solution that has pH equals 7 has the same concentration of hydronium ions as a solution that has pOH equals 7?
Yes, if both solutions are at 25oC then in both solutions this is valid: pH + pOH = 14.0
What pH values indicates a solution with the highest concentration of hydrogen ions pH equals 1 or pH equals 2 or Ph equals 7or pH equals 14?
pH = 14 is basic pH = 7 is neutral pH - 1 and 2 are acidic; pH = 1 is more acidic than pH = 2 Therefore a solution at pH 1 has higher concentration of H+ than at pH 14
What numeral value of pH is considered basic?
7 is neutral and greater than 7 is basic
What does the term pH mean?
pH is the measure of the acidity or alkalinity pH means the power of Hydrogen. It is 'minus the decimal logarithm of the hydrogen ion activity in an aqueous solution'. The term was coined by Sørensen, it measures the alkalinity or acidity of a liquid. pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions [H+] in a solution. The concentration of the hydrogen ions is measured in Molarity (M), or moles of H+ ions per liter of solution. The pH is then expressed as the negative log (base ten) of the hydrogen ion concentration. pH = -log[H+] For example, if a solution has a hydrogen ion concentration of 4.75 x 10-5 M (or 4.75 x 10-5 moles of H+ ions per liter of solution), then the pH of the solution would be -log[4.75 x 10-5] = 4.323 pH is generally given on a scale from 0-14, with 0 being the most acidic solution (like HCl) and 14 being the most basic solution (for example, NaOH.), although extreme values may sometimes fall outside that range. Pure water has a pH of 7 because its H+ concentration is 1.0 x 10-7 M -log[1.0 x 10-7] = 7
