No, having a negative number in an equation does not necessarily mean the solution is acidic. The acidity or basicity of a solution is determined by the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) or hydroxide ions (OH-) present, not by the sign of a number in an equation.

Is NaCl acidic or alkaline and give a chemical equation to support your answer?

In solution the number of chloride ions (negative) equals the number of positive ions (sodium). NaCl -> Na+ + Cl- which is neutral in totality (neither acid nor alkaline)


Explain how you an determine if the number is a solution of an equation?

Substitute the number in the equation. If the resulting statement is true the number is a solution to the equation.


When is there no solution possible to an absolute value equation and why?

For example: | x | = -1 Or any other equation where the absolute value of any expression is negative. This doesn't have a solution, because the absolute number of any expression is always positive, or zero, never negative.


What is A number that makes a equation true?

The solution set is the answers that make an equation true. So I would call it the solution.


Is the solution to -5m -20 negative?

To solve the equation (-5m - 20 = 0), we first isolate (m) by adding 20 to both sides, resulting in (-5m = 20). Then, dividing both sides by -5 gives (m = -4). Since (-4) is indeed a negative number, the solution to the equation is negative.


A value that makes an equation true?

Any number that makes an equation true is a 'solution of an equation'. it is a solution


Is it possible for an equation to have more than one correct solution?

Definitely.The equation [ x^2 = 4 ] has two solutions.x = +2x = -2The square root of any number can be a positive number or its negative. The solution for a quadratic equation often has two different values. However having two different values is still a single solution.


What happens to the number of hydrogen ions if a solution becomes more acidic?

The concentration of hydrogen in a solution increases as the pH of the solution becomes more acidic.


When solving radical equations and you have a root number on one side of the equal sign and a negative number on the other side is it a no solution?

If you have an equation where a variable alone is squared and the other side is a negative, you cannot solve that equaton because it's impossible to take the square root of a negative number. So yes, it's no solution.


Number that makes an equation true?

A number that makes an equation true is its solution.


Using the Kw equation how is it possible to determine whether an aqueous solution is acidic basic or neutral?

When you combine the Kw equation with the total mass of the solution, you will get a number. If the number is above 60, it is a acid, it is below 75, it is a base and if your number is between 60 and 75, it is neutral.


What is the word for a number that makes an equation true?

Solution. A solution of an equation is a number that satisfy the equation. This means that if you replace this number on the equation and check it, the equation will be true. When you solve an equation you can find some roots, but not all of them satisfy the equation. Thus always check your answers after resolving your equation, and eliminate as solution the answers that don't make the equation true or undefined.
