It is very acidic
Strong because a substance with a pH of 7 is considered neutral, so the further away from 7 the pH gets, the more strong of an acid it becomes.
The solution of this salt has a pH under 7.
A substance with a pH of 6 is considered acidic, but the strength of the acid cannot be determined solely from its pH value. To determine if it is a strong or weak acid, additional information such as its dissociation constant (Ka) or the specific type of acid would be needed.
A strong acid completely dissociates into an H+ ion and an anion. pH is defined as pH = -log(H+ concentration) So if you have 0.01 mole hydrochloric acid (HCl) per 1 mole solution, since each mole HCl contributes a mole of H+ and a mole of Cl- then you would have H+ concentration of 0.01 pH = -log(0.01) = -(-2) = 2, so the pH = 2 Note that higher H+ concentrations result in lower pH number
The addition of water to weak acids or bases generally dilutes the solution, which can lead to a slight increase in pH for weak acids and a decrease in pH for weak bases due to the equilibrium shifting. In contrast, adding water to strong acids or bases typically results in a more significant change in pH, as strong acids and bases dissociate completely in solution. Therefore, dilution with water for strong acids will lower the pH (less acidic) and for strong bases will raise the pH (less basic) but will still remain strongly acidic or basic depending on their original concentration. Overall, the extent of pH change depends on the strength and concentration of the acid or base involved.
pH of a strong base has larger number than a weak base...
Strong acids have a lower pH than weak acids. This is because strong acids completely dissociate in water to release all their hydrogen ions, resulting in a high concentration of H+ ions and a lower pH. Weak acids only partially dissociate, leading to a lower concentration of H+ ions and a higher pH.
i think a strong acid ionizes completely in water while a weak acid ionizes partiallly in water therefore the pH of a strong acid is greater than that of a weak acid The first part of your answer was correct, but the second was reversed. The pH of a strong acid is lower than the pH of a weak acid.
No. Alkali's and acids are an separate ends of the pH scale, the pH of acids being 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (strong to weak) and the pH of alkali's being 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 (weak to strong). Examples of acids are hydrochloric acid (strong) and vinegar (weak). Toothpaste is an example of a weak alkali.
any concerted alkali is weak alkali
Lowest pH, strong acids, then weak acids, then salts of strong acids and strong bases, then salts of weak acids and strong bases, then weak bases, then strong bases. All very confusing!
The pH of a strong acid is typically close to zero, as strong acids completely dissociate in water to release H+ ions. The pH of a weak acid is usually higher than zero, as weak acids only partially dissociate in water, resulting in a lower concentration of H+ ions and a pH closer to 7.
If a strong acid is mixed with a weak base, pH=pKa+/-1 in the buffer region.Corrected:If a strong base is mixed with a weak acid pOH= pKb +/-1 ( pH=(14 - pKb)+/-1) in the buffer region[Remember: For one conjugated pair of weak acid (a = HB) AND its weak base (b = B-):pKa + pKb = 14.0andpH + pOH = 14.0
Yes In theory, you could have a very weak solution of a strong acid and a stong solution of a weak acid and they would have the same pH.
The pH is higher.
strong acid
A pH of 9 is not acidic, it is basic. in order to be acidic the pH must be less than 7 It does not show whether the base is strong or weak as pH depends on both the strength of the acid/base as well as its concentration.
