Acidic solutions to neutral solutions. QUESTION 3 How does a solution of pH 7 compare to a solution of pH 10?
2 points QUESTION 4 According to the Arrhenius Theory of acids and bases, a base is:
|
1) Apple juice
. The lower the pH , the more is the acidity. On the pH scale of 0-14, 0 is the most acidic and 14 is the most basic.
2)Strong bases or acids to weak bases or acids.
A buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components. It is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, thus maintaining the pH of the solution relatively stable.
3)pH 7 has more H+ ions.
The pH7 solution will be more acidic than the solution of pH 10(as explained in 1). lower pH means more H+ ions because pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration (more exactly the activity), or algebraically pH = −log10 [H. +. ]
4) A substance that increases the amount of hydroxide ions present when it is dissolved in water.
An Arrhenius base is a substance that, when dissolved in an aqueous solutiion gives hydroxide, or OH-, ions in the solution.
