What is the purpose of adding water to the base?
To prepare a dilute solution.
Which causes the pH of a solution of a solution to increase?
Adding a base
What scale is used to determine whether a solution is an acid or base?
When referring to acidity of a solution one uses the pH scale. The lower the number, the higher the acidity. Pure water is said to be neutral, and is a 7 on the scale. Anything with a lower number ranking is acidic, and anything with a higher ranking is basic.
What happens when the pH solution is lower?
When adding a strong acid to an acidic solution pH decreases. Adding a strong base to an acidic solution the pH increases.
Why is limestone considered a base?
If you mean base as in the opposite of acid, limestone is calcium carbonate. The pH of it is 9- any number higher than 7 is considered a base. Number lower than 7 are acid.
Why would adding an acid or base lower the pH in a solution?
Adding an acid to a solution will lower it's Ph, but adding a base will raise it's Ph.
How do you lower the acid in a pool?
Add potash. See your pool shop with a sample of your water and the size of your pool and he will give you what your pool requires.
Is the pH of a strong base lower or higher than the pH of a weak base?
Weak bases will have a higher H+ concentration.
What is the purpose of adding water to the base?
To prepare a dilute solution.
Why can't a chemical be both base and an acid?
An "acid" is a chemical that has a PH lower than 7.0 and a "base" is a chemical that has a PH higher than 7.0. It would be impossible for a chemical to have a PH both lower and higher than 7.0 at the same time. Pure water has a PH of exactly 7.0 and is therefore neither an acid nor a base.
What the properties of a base?
A base has a higher pH than water.
Is lopunny stronger than Infernape?
Typhlosion has higher HP by 2 base points, lower attack by 20 base points, higher defense by 7 base points, higher Special Attack by 5 base points, higher Special Defense by 14 base stats, and lower Speed by 8 base stats.
What is one of the products of adding an acid to a a base?
The products of a neutralization reaction are water and a salt.
Which compounds increase the number of hydroxide ions when dissolved in water?
Adding a "Base" compound will do it.
What can the acidity of a solution be measured by?
pH level, the lower the number, the more acidic (down to 1), the higher, the more base (up to 14), water is at 7. Acidity and base level is what makes food sour or bitter, respectively.
What does it mean to be a strong or weak acid or base?
a strong acid is lower on the pH scale a strong base is higher on the pH scale
When you add water to acid what forms?
When H2O is added to acid it begins to boil due to the strong reaction between the acid and the Base (the water). Don´t add H2O to acids add acid to water. Water is both an acid and a base, when it is reacting with acid it becomes base and reacts with base it becomes acid.
