A pH of 5 is closer to an acid. 7 is neutral pH.
The pH of a solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of 0.00001 M would be 5. The formula to calculate pH is pH = -log[H+], so in this case, pH = -log(0.00001) = 5.
- log(1.7 X 10 -5 M) = 4.8 pH =======
Lower pHs are more acidic Higher pHs are more basic. Therefore, the pH of 5 will be more acidic than pH of 7 ** also, the pH of 7 is neutral. Edit by Kelvin876: Higher pHs are alkalines. **Each number lower is 10 times greater in acidity than the prior number. This would mean that a solution with a pH of 5 is 100 times greater in acidity compared to a solution with a pH of 7.
The pH of a solution can be calculated using the formula pH = -log[H+]. Given a hydrogen ion concentration of 0.00001 M, the pH would be 5.
Diluting with water will make this solution more neutral, meaning it will slowly increase to 7, which is the pH value of pure water used for this dilution.
the pH would be 5 and the strength would be 1 X 10-5 molar

It would form NaOH which would mean it is alkaline as it is an hydroxide, and it would have pH 9

The final pH would be less than 5 because the stronger acid (pH 4.0) would have a greater effect on the overall pH than the weaker acid (pH 6.0). To calculate the exact final pH, you would need to know the exact concentrations of the two solutions and perform a Henderson-Hasselbalch calculation.
If you mean pH, the answer would be 7.
[H3O+] = 10-pH = 10-(5.0) = 1.0*10-5 mol/LpH= the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration, pH=5 would be a concentration of 10(-5) or 0.00001 moles per liter
It is 1 less. Stupid. Just kidding, remember what does the p stand for in pH? POWER of hydronium. PH is -log[H3O+], so a decrease would mean a higher concentration of Hydronium. Remember it's a logarithmic scale, so a change of 1 means a change of 10 times.
The answer to 'What pH would indicate and acidic soil?' is 5. 5 is a week number and 1 is the strongest, 7 is neutral and 14 is a strong alkali 9 is week.
