What else can I help you with?
Is bicarbonate an acidic or basic substance?
Bicarbonate is a basic substance.
Is HCl considered a basic or acidic substance?
HCl is considered an acidic substance.
Is coffee considered to be an acidic or basic substance?
Coffee is considered to be an acidic substance.
3 The label on a bottle indicates that the substance inside has a pH of 13 This tells you that the substance is A neutral B strongly acidic C mildly basic D strongly basic?
The substance with a pH of 13 is strongly basic. Substances with pH values greater than 7 are considered basic, and the higher the pH value, the stronger the basic nature of the substance.
Is bicarbonate considered a basic or acidic substance in chemistry?
In chemistry, bicarbonate is considered a basic substance.
Is the pH level of the substance low, indicating that it is acidic, or is it basic?
The substance has a low pH level, indicating that it is acidic.
Is cronium chloride acidic or basic?
Neither - there is no such substance.
Is the low pKa of a substance indicative of its acidic or basic nature?
Yes, a low pKa of a substance indicates its acidic nature.
What does substance's pH tell you?
Ph tells you how acidic/basic a solution is. It is a measure of the relative concentrations of H+ ions to OH- ions.
What is neither acidic or basic?
A substance that is neither acidic nor basic is considered neutral. Water at room temperature is an example of a neutral substance, as it has a pH of 7.
What is pH of a substance?
The pH of a substance tells if it's an acid, neutral, or a base. With all deference to the asker and to the previous answerer, technically substances don't have pH's. Aqueous solutions have pH's, and the pH tells you (on a logarithmic scale) the concentration of H+ (or more precisely H3O+) in that solution. A substance is an acid if it lowers the pH of a solution when it is dissolved. It does this by donating protons (H+'s) to water molecules to create more H3O+. A substance is a base if it increases the pH of a solution by accepting a proton from water molecules to form OH-. H3O+ and OH- are in equilibrium with each other in solution, so the more OH- you create, the less H3O+ will be in solution and the higher the pH. So a better answer to the question is that "The pH of a solution tells you if its an acidic, neutral, or basic solution."
Why is there a pH scale?
The reason for a pH scale it to tell how basic or acidic a substance, or substance byproduct is.
