pH is used as a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration.

PH method to determine a pH of a substance?

To determine the pH of a substance using the pH method, you will need a pH meter or pH strips. For a pH meter, simply immerse the electrode into the substance and wait for the reading to stabilize. For pH strips, dip the strip into the substance and compare the color change to the provided chart to determine the pH value.


Is it pH of coffee is alkali?

No coffee is generally around pH 5. To be alkali it would need to be above pH 7.


Mixed equal volumes of HCl one with pH 4.0 and the other pH 6.0 what is the final pH?

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.


What information is necessary to determine the pH of a solution when you given hydroxide ion concentration?

To determine the pH of a solution from the hydroxide ion concentration, you also need the concentration of the hydrogen ion. Once you have that information, you can use the equation pH = 14 - pOH, where pOH is calculated as -log[OH-] and [OH-] is the hydroxide ion concentration.


What would you neutralize an acid with a pH of 3?

To neutralize an acid with a pH of 3, you would need to add a base with a pH higher than 3. Bases have pH values above 7, so adding a base with a pH higher than 3 will help neutralize the acid and bring the pH closer to 7, which is considered neutral.
