What happens to pH when acid is added to water?
It won't have neutralised the acid but it will be weaker because it is less concentrated
What happens when concentrated sulfuric acid is added to coconut water?
The solution gets hot
Why is acid added to water and not water to acid?
Mixing of acid with water is highly exothermic. Hence acid is added to water.Also, adding acid to water, if the mixture accidentally splashes you will be less likely to be injured by the dilute acid mix. Adding water to acid, if the mixture accidentally splashed you will be more likely to be injured by the still concentrated acid mix.
How can you prepare a dilute solution of an acid from the concentrated acid?
poure water on the concentrated acid
What is 10 percent hydrochloric acid?
10 ml of concentrated HCl added to 90 ml of water.
What does dilute acid mean?
A diluted acid is a concentrated acid that has been diluted by water so it is not as concentrated. Sometimes the final dilution is expressed as a percentage of the original acid. More often we use molarity. In common lab use the dilute acids are 2M.
Why does the pH of water decrease when a acid is added?
Acid on the PH scale is from 1 to 6. water being 7 and anything above seven to 14 being a base. Adding an acid with a ph of 1 with water makes it a 3.5 on the ph scale. How?, The acid's H+ or H3O- became less concentrated when water was added.
What is the nameof the black substance produced when concentrated sulfuric acid is added to sugar?
Concentrated sulfuric acid strips the hydrogen and oxygen from sugar (sucrose) as water. Carbon is left. C12H22O11 + H2SO4 --> 12C + H2SO4. 11H2O
What is the difference between dilutes and concentrated acid's?
diluted acid is less concentrated i.e. it is mixed with water and a less harmful(like sulphuric acid.) whereas concentrated acid is in its original form...
Pouring water into a concentrated battery acid dangerous?
Yes. Battery acid is sulfuric acid, and its dissociation in water is HIGHLY exothermic. Adding a small quantity of water to the concentrated acid releases so much heat that the water can reach its boiling point. Think frying bacon, except instead of hot grease spattering (which is bad enough) it's hot concentrated acid. Adding the acid to the water means that only a relatively small amount of acid is being added to a large quantity of water; this helps control the heat production (you should still do it carefully and slowly). "Do dilutions like you oughtta; pour the acid in the watta."
What is concentrated hydrochloric acid in?
Concentrated hydrochloric acid is generally 36,5 (m/m)% HCl (gas) in water.
Is a water solution of a strong acid always concentrated?
