Why water can be classified as both acid and base?
Because water is slightly acidic from all the acids in the air!
How Water is an amphoteric substance?
Yes, water can react as an acid or a base - amphoteric.
How is water a buffer?
Theoretically any system in which both the acid/base and its conjugate are present can be used as a buffer. Since pure water has hydroxyl and hydronium ions present at 10-7 M it can be technically called a buffering system. However, since the concentrations are so small and water offers practically no buffering capacity and in a common sense water is not used as a buffer for any reactions, only as a solvent.
What is the pH of strontium?
Strontium does not have a pH as it is not an acid or base in itself. However, it will react with water to produce strontium hydroxide, which is a base and will produce a pH greater than 7. pH is not a measure of how strong an acid or base is, it is a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is. It depends on both how strong a dissolved acid or base is and how much is dissolved in a given volume of water.
Is CIO2- a bronsted acid base or both?
It is a Bronsted base.
Is corrosive an acid or a base or both or neither?
Both. An acid and base can both be corrosive to the skin and other materials.
Is water both acidic and basic?
Pure water is neutral, that is, neither acidic nor basic. HOWEVER, it can act as acid as well as base on treating with base and acid respectively. this is said to be aMphoteric chracter of water.
Why isn't water always a solvent?
because it is neither a base or a acid. however different qualities of water will have more or less of both.
Is pure water an acid or akali?
Generally speaking, it is a neutral substance meaning that it is neither acidic or basic.(But technically speaking, water is amphoteric meaning that it can act both as a base and an acid)
Is ammonia or hydroxide a stronger acid?
Neither is an acid. Both are bases, hydroxide is the stronger base.
What is the pH of octane?
Octane is neither an acid or base. So it will produce a pH of 7. A not on pH: no acid or base has a specific pH. pH is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration in a solution of water. That depends on both how strong an acid or base is and how much is dissolved in a solution in a given volume of water.
How is water both an acid and a base?
it is neutral
Is water an acid or an alkali?
Water is neither acid or alkali it is neutral
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.
Is sulfuric acid a bronsted acid bronsted base or both?
It's a Brønsted Acid because it gives up a proton in water.
If water can act as an acid or base what is it?
Water is both an acid and a base in the sense that it donates protons to a base thus becoming hydroxide and accepts protons from an acid thus making it hydronium.
What is the process of acid base neutralization?
In acid base neutralisation, both the acid and the base react with each other to form salt and water. Ex: hcl+naoh --> nacl + hoh here, acid-hcl base-naoh salt-nacl water-hoh
