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.
Is bicarbonate considered a basic or acidic substance in chemistry?
In chemistry, bicarbonate is considered a basic 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 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.
