It is a neutral solution, pH = 7.0 at room temp.
Because this is not a peroxide or hydride, we can by rule state that hydrogen is in the +1 oxidation state and that oxygen is in the -2 state.
pH is a measure of the activity of hydroxide (OH-) and hydronium (H3O+) in aqueous solution. Acidic solutions have greater numbers of reactive hydronium ions. Basic solutions have more hydroxide ions and less reactive hydronium 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.
Hydrogen can be + 1 or -1 when it forms hydrides.
Because if you went on solely the concentration of hydrogen ions within the solution, you would end up with numbers like 1.38x10-5. pH puts these numbers into a more user-friendly scale
Technically it is called water because the positive hydrogen ions and the negative hydroxide ions would attract to form a compound with two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule. H2O. This occurs most often in acid-base neutralization reaction where water is a product of the reactions.
The conclusion that can be made about the portion of hydroxide ions and hydrogen ions in a solution that has a pH of 7 is that they are equal. The quantities pH + pOH, which are derived from the concentrations of hydroxide and hydrogen ions, will always have a sum of 14. The ratio of hydrogen and hydroxide in a single water molecule is 1:1.
A neutral solution can contain ions of hydrogen, hydroxide, and the cation and anion of any neutral salt. There are equal numbers of hydrogen and hydroxide ions, and also an equal (but usually different) number of the other pair of ions.
pH scale
Because the number of positive hydrogen ions produced is equal to the number of negative ions produced, water is neutral. Water is neutral despite the production of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions because the number of positive hydrogen ions produced is equal to the number of negative ions produced, water is neutral.
Because this is not a peroxide or hydride, we can by rule state that hydrogen is in the +1 oxidation state and that oxygen is in the -2 state.
pH is a measure of the activity of hydroxide (OH-) and hydronium (H3O+) in aqueous solution. Acidic solutions have greater numbers of reactive hydronium ions. Basic solutions have more hydroxide ions and less reactive hydronium ions.
The pH numbers refer to power of ten, so a change of 2 numbers means that the moles per liter of hydrogen ions has changed by 100.
A high concentration of hydrogen ion indicates that the solution is acidic, while a high concentration of hydroxide ion makes the solution basic. When the concentration of hydroxide ion is equal to hydrogen ion the solution is basic.
"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-
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.
Quantitative observations involve numbers. An example would be the volume of 0.1M HCl needed to neutralise 25 ml of sodium hydroxide solution.
