What is the effect of dilution on the pH of strong acid?

the pH decreases since dilution affects the cocentration of H+ found ... thus the pH so the more the water is , the less the concentration of H+ is for the same amount of H+


Will pH of the acid change after the dilution?

can you be more specific? "the" acid? pH of buffered solutions generally will not change upon dilution, following the henderson-hasselbach. however, pH of strong acids will change, following the standard equation: pH = -log[H+] yerp


Is it true that a ten-fold dilution of a strong acidic solution will decrease the pH by 1?

No, it is false. A ten-fold dilution of an acid will INCREASE the pH by 1 unit. Remember pH is 0-14 where 0 is most acidic. Diluting ten-fold on a logarithmic scale will increase the pH.Conversely, a ten-fold dilution of an alkali/base will increase the pH by 1 unit.

What best describes a stock solution that is used in a dilution?

A stock solution that is used in a dilution is known as a dilute solution. A dilute solution reduces the Ph of a chemical.


What can be used instead of phenolphthalein to measure pH?

Litmus paper, or other pH papers can measure pH. Many pH test papers can measure specific pH values. There are also instruments called pH meters that can measure pH.


Why does the pH of an acetate buffer increases after dilution with water?

The pH of water is approximatly 7 (a neutral pH), and the acetate buffer has an acidic pH (less than 7) so when you add distilled water to the buffer the pH will increase.


How can you measure the pH of an unknown liquid?

It is very easy to measure pH using a pH meter.


What is the maximum pH attained upon infinite dilution of an acid?

Trick question ? If you dilute with water then eventually the pH will approach 7 (approximately, since water seldom has a true pH of 7).
