Whether something is acid or base the strength of that solution is measured by the pH scale. 0 (zero) is the most acid and 14 is the most base. distilled water measures 7 and is completely neutral. Ammonia is an example of a base and is usually measured at a pH of 11.6. So the answer to your question is that an acid has a positive pH. There is no such thing as a negative pH.
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
No. In the case of 5 + (-3), for example, the positive number 2 is the solution. The sum would only be negative if the absolute value of the negative number is greater than the positive number.
It could explode, getting battery acid all over you and anyone else nearby.
yes
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
In a car battery, the acid solution is called electrolyte. It is typically a mixture of sulfuric acid and water that helps facilitate the flow of electrical current between the battery's positive and negative terminals.
Neither. No substance on its own on is an ion. Nitric acid is electrically neutral. When dissolved in water, nitric acid breaks apart, releasing both positive hydronium ions and negative nitrate ions.
An Arrhenius acid has only hydrogen ions in solution.
When an acid is mixed with water, it forms a solution that contains both the acid molecules and hydronium ions (H3O+). The acid donates a proton to the water molecule, generating hydronium ions which are responsible for the acidic properties of the solution.
The components of lead acid batteries include: * The outer case, or housing. * Plates [Positive and Negative]. * Intercell connectors. * Terminals [Positive and Negative]. * Electrolyte [Sulphuric Acid].
Positive and negative charges.
Sugar is neutral, as it does not contribute to the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
When the positive ion of a base combines with the negative ion of an acid, they form a salt compound. The positive ion from the base combines with the negative ion from the acid through an ionic bond to create a neutral compound known as a salt.
This is an acid.
This is an acid.
A salt
yes because there is an exchange between the positive and negative plates were the solution will be highly concentrated with negative irons
