How does carbon dioxide affect the pH level?

Carbon dioxide can lower the pH level of water by forming carbonic acid when it dissolves in water. This can make the water more acidic.


Why does Sulfur dioxide form an acidic solution?

Sulfur dioxide dissolves in water to form sulfurous acid, which is a weak acid. This acid ionizes in water, releasing hydrogen ions that make the solution acidic. The equation for the reaction is: SO2 + H2O → H2SO3.


Is there any pH change when KCl dissolves in water?

No there is no pH change KCl+H20--> K2O + HCl neither OH- or H+ is formed, which would make it either more acidic or more basic. KCl is a salt


Why do you find caves and stalactites only in limestone area?

I think I could be wrong, but is it because naturally acidic rain can cause limestone to dissolve, and this can make a cave? (I came across this during revision and this completely confused me, I'm almost sure to fail! But this is just what I guessed via the text!) +++ You are right in describing what are called "karst" caves, i.e. those formed in limestone by slightly acidic water dissolving it, but other types of cave in non-limestone rocks exist, formed by other mechanisms.


Why aqueous solution of copper sulphate is acidic in nature?

Solution of Copper(2) sulphate is acidic in nature. This is due to the fact that in solution, copper sulphate reacts with water to produce copper(2)hydroxide and sulphuric acid: CuSO4 + H2O ------> Cu(OH)2 + H2SO4 Copper hydroxide is a weak base whereas Sulphuric acid is a very strong acid. Due to presence of a strong acid (sulphuric acid) this solution is acidic in nature. :)

Which acids and alkalis are in a first aid kit contents?

Possibly from sterile water once the water has been exposed to the air as CO2 dissolves in water therefore it would make it slightly acidic. As there are only the basics in a first aid kit that would be it


Is HBr am acid?

Yes, HBr is a strong acid. When it dissolves in water, it releases hydrogen ions (H+) which make it acidic.


Does rainwater have acid?

Rainwater can have a slightly acidic pH due to the presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which creates carbonic acid when it dissolves in the water. This can make rainwater slightly more acidic than pure water, but it is generally considered safe for drinking and other uses.

What is a substance that dissolve to make a solution?

The solid that dissolves into a solution by water is called a solute. The solvent is water or another liquid and it dissolves the solute. Both together, it is called a solution.


Why pH of unbuffered solution drifts during measurement?

Small amounts of gasses compete to make it slightly acidic or basic.


Is salami acidic?

Salami typically has a slightly acidic pH due to the fermentation process used to make it. The addition of lactic acid bacteria during fermentation helps to create this acidic environment, which contributes to the unique flavor profile of salami.


Solid citric acid dissolved in the water what will acidic properties?

When solid citric acid dissolves in water, it releases hydrogen ions, which make the solution acidic. Citric acid is a weak organic acid that contributes to the sour taste of citrus fruits and is commonly used as a food additive for its acidic properties.
