Using a pH meter (measures the H ion [H+] concentration in an aqueous solution) is a typical way to determine whether a solution is an acid or a base. On the pH scale (Range = 1-13) 7 is considered Neutral (neither Acid or Base). A solution with a pH <7 are Acids, while those with a pH >7 are Bases.

What is hypothesis of a acid base titration?

The hypothesis of an acid-base titration is that the volume of the acid solution needed to neutralize a base solution is stoichiometrically equivalent to the volume of the base solution required to neutralize the acid. This forms the basis for determining the unknown concentration of an acid or base by titration.


When water is added to a strong acid or base the acid or base becomes less dilute?

When water is added to a strong acid or base, the concentration of the acid or base decreases because water dilutes the solution. This results in a less concentrated solution of the acid or base.


Is buffer solution an acid or a base?

A buffer solution contains a weak acid and its conjugate base, which helps resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. Therefore, a buffer solution contains both acid and base components.


Is oxygen an acid base or neutral?

An acid or base is never a single element, it is a solution, and a solution that contains H+ OR OH- in it, so oxygen is neither an acid nor base.
