Is pH value only for liquids?

That is correct, only an aqueous solution has a pH value. There are certainly chemicals in either a solid or gaseous state which will have an effect on the pH of an aqueous solution if they dissolve in that solution, but until they do, they do not have a pH.


As edta dissolves in water the h will increase to achieve a pH 8.0 would you need to add hcl or naoh?

you have to add naoh because in water only sodium salt of EDTA will dissolve.

It is a chemical change because it produces heat which is evidence that a chemical change has occured.


Why is it good that lipids in cell membranes do not dissolve in water?

If the phospholipids in your cell membranes were suddenly able to dissolve in water, you would become a thick puddle on the floor. You are basically one big aqueous solution, and the cell membranes are the only thing keeping the cell compartmentalized.


Would NaOH eat through glass?

Yes, but only after an extended period of time, and depending on the concentration. I kept a 500 mL glass jar off 50% NaOH in my lab for two years and the glass didn't dissolve, but did get eaten away. At the bottom of the jar there was a rather thick, but under a cm, layer of residue and you could tell that the NaOH has eaten some of the glass away.

Do monosaccharides dissolve in water?

When glucose or other monosaccharides are placed in an aqueous solution, they curl and take a ring form. This is in contrast to the linear form they take otherwise.


What are the products of a reaction between phenol and magnesium chloride?

Phenol is so weakly acidic that it cannot react with metals low in the electrochemical series. Also, phenol reacts only with Sodium metal and no other. Hence, it does not react with Magnesium at room temperature.
