What best describes what the pH number indicates about a solution?
How acidic the solution isthe number of H+ ions in the solution
What scale describes the acidity of a solution as a number?
the pH
When the concentration of hydrogen ions increases the pH number of a solution?
When the concentration of hydrogen ions increases, the pH number of a solution decreases. pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution, with lower pH values indicating higher acidity.
What does a high number on pH scale say about a solution?
The solution is basic.
What does a low number on a pH scale say about a solution?
The solution is an acid.
What best describes the pH number indicates about a solution?
pH is related to the activity of ions H+ in a solution. A pH under 7 is acidic, pH=7 is neutral and a pH over 7 is basic.
How does a solution with a pH of 7 compare to a solution with a pH of 5?
Lower pHs are more acidic Higher pHs are more basic. Therefore, the pH of 5 will be more acidic than pH of 7 ** also, the pH of 7 is neutral. Edit by Kelvin876: Higher pHs are alkalines. **Each number lower is 10 times greater in acidity than the prior number. This would mean that a solution with a pH of 5 is 100 times greater in acidity compared to a solution with a pH of 7.
How many times more acidic is a solution of pH 1 than a solution having pH 2?
To first answer this question you must know how the PH scale works. Essentially the PH scale is a logarithmic scale. A logarithmic scale unlike a linear scale (you know the scales that go from 1, 2, 3, etc.) works using exponential increments. For the PH scale every time you go one number down the solution the item in question becomes ten times more acidic than the number above. Therefore to ultimately answer your question a solution with a PH of 1 is ten times more acidic than a solution that has a PH of 2.
How does a solution with a pH of 2 compare to a solution with a pH of 7?
A solution with a pH of 2 is more acidic than a solution with a pH of 7. The pH scale is logarithmic, so each whole number change represents a 10-fold difference in acidity. Therefore, a pH of 2 is 10,000 times more acidic than a pH of 7.
Is a solution with a high pH acidic or basic?
none of them is basic...solution with ph2 is more acidic than ph3 solution.
What type of solution is pH of 8.0?
Solutions with a pH over 7 are basic, and the higher the number, the stronger a base they are. A solution with a pH of 8 is a base.
How does a solution with a pH of 6 compare to a solution with a pH of 9?
A solution with a pH of 6 is more acidic than a solution with a pH of 9. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with lower values indicating higher acidity. Each whole number change in pH represents a tenfold difference in acidity or basicity.
