Hydrogen
pH indicator
Every liquid has a pH number of some kind, but some have a more acidic pH balance and others have a more basic. It all depends on its pH number if it's between 0 and 6 it's an acid. If it falls between 8-14 it's a base. And if it's 7, then it's a neutral.
An acid increase the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
The negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration, [H+], a measure of the degree to which a solution is acidic or alkaline. An acid is a substance that can give up a hydrogen ion (H+); a base is a substance that can accept H+. The more acidic a solution the greater the hydrogen ion concentration and the lower the pH; a pH of 7.0 indicates neutrality, a pH of less than 7 indicates acidity, and a pH of more than 7 indicates alkalinity. The pH is used as a measure of whether the body is maintaining a normal acid-base balance.
kidneys and lungs
The strength of an acid or base depends on its concentration. More the concentration of Hydrogen ions [H+] more acidic it is and more the concentration of Hydroxide ions [OH-] more basic it is.
pH indicator
yes, the oxalic acid would be the standard acid by which the base is titrated and the concentration determined. if the oxalic acid is 'around' 1M, that could mean anything
Determination of the concentration of a base by titration with acids or determination of the concentration of an acid by titration with bases. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid-base_titration)
the H+ concentration and the OH- concentration
Acid and base when mixed in equal concentration neutralize each other.So if the water has both in equal concentration the water will not show the properties of the acid or the base.if any one i.e. acid or base is higher in concentration than the other the water will show its properties.
dilute
There is no definite pH of hydrochloric acid or any other substance. pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution which depends on both how strong an acid or base is and how concentrated it is (how much is dissolved in a given volume of water). Because hydrochloric acid is a strong acid the pH can be calculated as the negative logarithm (base 10) of its molar concentration up to a pH of 7.
The acid base volume ratio is call the titration. The formula is Macid + Vbase = Vacid + Mbase. Macid is concentration of the acid. Vbase is volume of the base. Vacid is the volume of the acid. Mbase is the concentration of the base.
When the concentration of the weak acid is the same as the concentration of the conjugate base, the pH will be equal to the pKa of the weak acid. This is because from the Henderson Hasselbalch eq:pH = pKa + log [acid]/[conj.base] and when [acid] = [conj.base], the log of 1 = 0 and pH = pKa.
