This solution is basic, since it has very little dissolved Hydronium ion. (It has exactly 10-9 hydronium ions per Liter, which is very few. Less hydronium ions means less acidity.)

Remember too that a solution with pH > 7 is basic, and a pH < 7 is acidic.

Remember that pH is a number that represents the concentration of hydronium ion (H+) in a solution. The equation for this is

pH = -log10[H+].

If you have a pH of 9, then you can solve for the concentration of hydronium ions as follows.

pH = 9

-9 = log10[H+]

You can then raise both sides of the equation to the power of 10 in order to eliminate the log.

10-9=10log10[H+]

10-9=[H+] since 10log10[H+] = [H+]

So a pH of 9 indicates a hydronium ion concentration of [H+] = 10-9

What does pH describe in a solution?

acidity or basicity of a solution


How does a solution with a pH of 7 compare to a solution with a pH of 9?

A solution with a pH of 7 is neutral, indicating a balance between acidic and basic properties. A solution with a pH of 9 is slightly basic, meaning it has a higher concentration of hydroxide ions compared to a neutral solution.


Which solutions has a greater concentration of hydroxide ions a solution of pH 3 or a solution of pH 9?

A solution with a pH of 9 has a greater concentration of hydroxide ions than a solution with a pH of 3. The pH scale is a logarithmic scale, with each unit representing a tenfold difference in hydrogen ion concentration. Therefore, a solution with a pH of 9 has a concentration of hydroxide ions 1,000 times greater than a solution with a pH of 3.


How does a solution with a pH of 6 compare to a solution with a pH of 9?

A solution with a pH of 6 is more acidic than a solution with a pH of 9. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with lower values indicating higher acidity. Each whole number change in pH represents a tenfold difference in acidity or basicity.

A solution of baking soda has a pH of 9. Baking soda?

is a basic compound that when dissolved in water, forms a solution with a pH greater than 7. The pH of 9 indicates that the solution is moderately alkaline.


What is the pH of a solution is 9 classified as?

A solution with a pH of 9 is classified as being basic or alkaline. This means that it has a higher concentration of hydroxide ions compared to hydronium ions.


How many times is a solution of pH 9 more alkaline than a new solution?

A solution with a pH of 9 is 10 times more alkaline than a new solution with a pH of 7. This is because pH is a logarithmic scale, with each unit representing a tenfold change in acidity or alkalinity.

Describe a solution that contains a buffer?

Acetic acid is added to the solution, but the pH of the solution does not change. Sodium hydroxide, a base, is added to the solution, but the pH of the solution does not change.


A solution with pH of 9 is?

A solution with a pH of 9 is a weak alkaline.A pH of 9 is a weak base. The concentration of H+ ions contributes to the pH of a substance. As the pH number goes up, the concentration of H+ ions goes down.It directly translates to pHx= 1x10 to the power of -x moles per liter.


Describe how the pH of a solution can be measured using pH paper?

The PH paper soaks up the solution &amp; tests the liquid, the pH paper will then change colour to show what the solution contains. Although if the paper stays the same colour it means the solution is nutral &amp; safe.
