Does a pH value signify certain number of hydrogen or hydroxide ions?
"pH" is a convention used as a convenience. It indicates how acidic (or basic, that is, alkaline) a solution is. It is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration, usually the latter is expressed in moles (or millimoles) per liter. Moles per liter is, of course, what we call "molarity." pOH is used in the same way, indicating the concentration of hydroxyl ions. Generally, Concentration of hydrogen ions + the concentration of hydroxyl ions = 10-14 A neutral solution has equal numbers of H+ and OH-
What is the pH of a solution in which the concentration of hydrogen ion is greater than the concentration of hydroxide ion?
Acidic
What is the pH number of sodium hydroxide?
Sodium hydroxide does not have a pH number. The pH of a solution of sodium hydroxide depends entirely on the concentration of it in that solution. To learn how to determine the pH of a sodium hydroxide solution, see the Related Questions links.
What percentage solution equals a 1 normal solution of sodium hydroxide?
Sodium hydroxide 1 N (normal solution) solution has a concentration of39,99710928 g/L (rounded 40 g/L) or 4 g/100 mL sodium hydroxide in water.
What is the hydroxide ion concentration in an aqueous solution in which the hydronium ion concentration is 0.13M?
-log(0.13) = 0.88 ----------- 14 - 0.88 = 13.12 1/10(13.12) = 7.59 X 10-14 M hydroxide ion concentration ----------------------------------------------------------
Why is there a minus sign on the definition of pH?
pH of a solution is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen-ion concentration
What is the pH of an aqueous solution with a H plus concentration of 1 X 10-3 M?
3: The negative of the logarithm (base 10) of the concentration. The logarithm of 1 is 0 and the logarithm of 10-3 is -3; the logarithm of their product is the sum of their individual logarithms, -3 in this instance, and the negative of -3 is +3.
Why you need pH?
pH is used as a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration.
Is 9 the pH of equal numbers of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions?
No. pH is the negative logarithm of the concentration of the hydronium ion. Equal numbers of hydronium ions and hydroxyl ions occurrs only when a solution is neutral.
What concentration of ammonium hydroxide?
A common concentration of ammonium hydroxide solution is 25 %.
What do H ions do to pH?
pH of a substance is directly related to the the amount of H+ ions it produces in the solution. It is the negative logarithm of the concentration of the H+ ions in the solution of a substance.
Is a pH element or compound?
Neither - its a measure of hydrogen ion concentration.
What is the pH level of rubidium hydroxide?
It depends on the molar concentration (Number of moles per liter of solution, a mole is 6.022X1023 formula units). Since it is a strong base that gives one hydroxide ion per formula unit, the pH of an RbOH solution is equal to 14 + the logarithm of the molar concentration. So a 1.0M solution has a pH of 14, a .1M solution has a pH of 13 and so on until a pH of about 7.
Which hydroxide compound yields the lowest concentration of hydroxide ions in aqueous solution?
magnesium hydroxide
What is the pH of an aqueous solution with the hydronium ion concentration H3O plus equals 2 x 10-14 M?
13.7 take the negative logarithm
How does the pOH differ from pH?
pOH happens to be the negative log of hydroxide ion' s concentration while pH is the negative log of hydrogen ion's concentration. pH is used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
What is a measure of the H plus concentration in a solution?
pH is defined as -log[H+]. This means that if one knows the concentration of hydrogen ion in solution, the pH is simply the negative logarithm (base 10) of that. Similarly, one can find the pOH simply by substituting the concentration of OH- for the concentration of H+ in the aforementioned formula.
