What scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions?
The scale that chemists use to describe the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution is know as the pH Scale
What is the symbol for hydronium?
Hydronium is the protonated water molecule: H3O+It is found in pure water formed by autoprotolysis, at concentration of 1.0*10-7 mol/L:H2O + H2O
What do the numbers on the pH scale say about the solution?
acidic (lower than 7) neutral (7) and basic (higher than 7)
The ability of a solution to conduct an electrical current is its?
Conductivity - is measure in inverse amps.
How does the pH of a concenterated acid change when it is diluted?
pH is actually a measure of hydrogen ion concentration, similar to how molarity is a measure of the concentration of other solutions. The pH of the acid will become more neutral, in this case higher if it's being diluted with water.
How much pH is in strong acid?
pH is not a measure of how strong an acid is. pH is a measure of the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution, which is dependent on both the strength of the acid or base and its concentration in a given solution.
How is the strength of a salt determined using the pH scale?
pH is a measure of the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution. pOH is a measure of the concentration of hydroxide ions in a solution. When a salt is placed into a solution (typically an aqueous solution), the cation and anion can either dissociate completely or partially, and can react with other ions in solution. If the salt pulls hydroxide ions out of solution, the solution becomes more acidic, and if the salt pulls hydronium ions out of solution, the solution will become more basic. So, if you want to determine the "strength" of a salt, add it to water and measure the hydronium ion concentration of that solution.

What is the solution's pH and pOH?
pH and pOH are a measure of the concentration of the hydronium ions and hydroxyl ions respectively in the solution. pH = -log[H+] pOH = -log[OH-] and they are related: pH + pOH = 14
What does the hydronium ion concentration measure for a substance?
The hydronium ion concentration measures how acidic a substance is. A high hydronium ion concentration means the substance is acidic. A low hydronium ion concentration means the substance is basic. You may be more familiar thinking of it as the pH scale. At pH = 7 [H3O]+ = 10-7 and [OH]- = 10-7
When the pH value of a solution is changed from 2 to 1 the concentration of hydronium?
Increased 10 times. Note that hydronium is not the only solvated species of H+ present- it is better to talk of H+ aq- pH is a measure of [H+] however solvated.
What is the measure of acidity in terms of hydronium ion concentration?
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.
What is the hP scale used to measure?
The pH scale (not hP) is used to measure the acidity/basicity of an aqueous solution. It actually is a measure of the hydronium ion concentration. pH <7 is acidic; pH>7 is basic; pH=7 is neutral.
What is a measure of the h concentration in a solution?
The measure of the H+ concentration is the pH.
What do the numbers on the pH scale say about the solution?
acidic (lower than 7) neutral (7) and basic (higher than 7)
The ability of a solution to conduct an electrical current is its?
Conductivity - is measure in inverse amps.
