Low pH means that the hydrogen-ion concentration is?
pH refers to hydrogen parts the lower the hydrogen parts the more acidic a substance is the higher adversely relates to how alkaline or basic a substance is it is scaled from 1-14 i being the most acidic 14 being the most basic when the pH is high, then the concentration of Hydrogen(H+) ions is low
Does a low pH decrease hemoglobins affinity for oxygen?
Yes. This an example of the Bohr effect. If pH is lower than normal (normal is 7.4), then hemoglobin does not bind oxygen as well. The higher the pH, the lower the H ion concentration, the lower the carbon dioxide level, and the GREATER affinity hemoglobin has for oxygen. The binding of oxygen to hemoglobin in the lungs is not affected by changing the pH.
What is alkalinity and its relation to the pH scale?
The pH scale is mostly in the range 0-14. A pH value of 7.0 means neutral. The lower the value, the more acidic the substance. The higher the value, the more alkaline. Note that, pH can be 15, just like it can be -1.
On what scale is acidity measured?
The pH scale - pH stands for percent-Hydrogen; indicating that the scale tests the concentration of free hydrogen bonds in a known solution. The higher the concentration of hydrogen bonds, the more acidic a solution; the lower the concentration of hydrogen bonds, the more alkaline or basic a solution. The scale ranges from 0-14, with 0 being the most acidic solution and 14 being the most alkaline (basic). A pH reading of 7 is a neutral substance - it is neither acidic nor basic. The pH is the measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution
What is the pH of living tissue?
Normal pH in the blood is around 7.4. The same is true in many of the tissues. The range can be slightly higher or lower.
What is the higher the hydronium ion concentration of a solution called higher or lower of pH?
lower
What has a greater concentration of acid pH 5 or pH 3?
pH 3 the lower down the scale the high the the concentration of acid the higher up the higher concentration of alkali's.
Does a solution with a pH of 5 have a lower concentration then that with a pH of 10?
Yes, the higher the pH level, the higher the concentration. anything with a pH over 7 is a base and anything under 7 is an acid.
On the pH scale what is the pH of an acid?
0 - 6.9 The lower the pH number the higher the concentration of hydronium ions and higher the strength of acid
Is the pH of a strong base lower or higher than the pH of a weak base?
Weak bases will have a higher H+ concentration.
Does a solution of baking soda and water have a lower pH that baking soda alone?
Pure baking soda does not have a pH. pH is the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions in an aqueous solution (a solution where water is the solvent). But if you have baking soda, or any alkaline substance, in a higher concentration (i.e. more dissolved in the same amount of water) the pH will be higher, if it is in a lower concentration, the pH will be lower.
How is concentration of a solution related with pH?
The more concentrated an acid is the lower its PH will be. The more concentrated a bace is the higher its PH will be.
What has more hydrogen ions acidic or basic solutions?
A hydrogen ion is just a proton, H+. The pH of a solution depends on proton concentration, pH = -log of H+ concentration. Therefore, the greater the number of protons present in solution, the lower the pH number, and the more acidic the solution.
Is pH depend on concentration of compound?
pH means -log[H], [H] is the concentration of hydrogen ion. and the concentration of hydrogen ion (also know as proton) is depend on the concentration of acid solution. the higher the proton concentration, the solution is more acidic, pH value lower. a "solid" acid will not change the colour of "dry litmus paper", because the is no water present, no hydrogen ion are present.
The lower the pH is it more acidic or more of a base?
pH is the logarithm(base 10) of hydronium concentration, and higher acidity is higher Hydronium ion concentration(H+ ion, which is produced by acids). so higher H+ concentration yields a lower pH.
Is acid rain has a higher than normal pH?
Neutral pH is 7. pH is minus the log of the hydrogen ion concentration. And hydrogen ions are delivered by acids (definition of an acid) and suppress the concentration of OH ions. So acid rain has a pH of less than ("normal") 7.
Which pH value indicates the highest concentration of hydroxide ion?
The pH scale works like this:1 being acidic, like lemon juice,10 is basic, amoniathe lower the number the more acidic, higher numbers are basic and 7 is neutralthe stronger the base, the higher the number, which means a higher OH ion concentration. the stronger the acid, the lower the number, means a higher H3O ion concentration and a lower OH concentration.
