In an acid (pH <7) it should be the hydronium ion: H+ or H3O+

In a base (pH >7) it should be the hydroxide/hydroxil ion: OH-

What has a greater concentration of acid pH 5 or pH 3?

pH 3 the lower down the scale the high the the concentration of acid the higher up the higher concentration of alkali's.


What does it mean to be a strong or weak acid or base?

A strong acid or base completely dissociates in water, releasing a high concentration of H+ or OH- ions, respectively. A weak acid or base only partially dissociates in water, resulting in lower concentrations of H+ or OH- ions. Strength is determined by the extent of ionization in water.


Distinguish between dilute acid or base and concentrated acid or base?

Concentrated acid or base has a high amount of acid or base in a solution, usually at or near 100% concentration. Dilute acid or base has a low amount of acid or base in a solution, usually with a lower concentration. Dilute solutions are weaker and less corrosive, while concentrated solutions are stronger and more reactive.


Is ph13 acid or base?

A solution with a pH of 13 is a strong base. This means it has a high concentration of hydroxide ions.


What is the difference between strength and concentration in terms of an acid or base?

Strength: how strong the bonds between the elements in the acid are. (the stronger the bonds the harder it is for the hydrogen ions to dissociate (break away) from the acid. Concentration: moles per liter. if there's a lot of the acid in a small amount of space there's a high concentration. just because the concentration is high, that doesn't mean the acid wouldn't easily break up.


Is it possible to have a concentrated solution of a weak acid or base True or False?

True. It is possible to have a concentrated solution of a weak acid or base, as the concentration of a solution refers to the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, regardless of the strength of the acid or base. The degree of dissociation may be low, but the concentration can still be high.


Ph scale is around 0 to?

The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 0 being the most acidic, 7 being neutral, and 14 being the most basic. A pH of 7 is considered neutral, meaning the concentration of H+ ions equals the concentration of OH- ions in the solution.


A solution with a pH of 10 is a?

A solution with a pH of 10 is considered basic. This means that it has a high concentration of hydroxide ions and a low concentration of hydrogen ions. The pH scale ranges from 0 (highly acidic) to 14 (highly basic).


Where on the pH scale are strong acid found?

Strong acids are typically found at a pH of 0-1 on the pH scale. These acids completely dissociate in water to release a high concentration of hydrogen ions, leading to a very low pH. Examples include hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.


Is a solution of ph2 a weak acid?

No, a solution with a pH of 2 is considered a strong acid because it has a high concentration of hydrogen ions. The lower the pH value, the higher the concentration of hydrogen ions and the stronger the acid.


What is the pH scale?

The pH scale represents the relative concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The concentration of hydrogen ions is commonly expressed in terms of the pH scale. Low pH corresponds to high hydrogen ion concentration and vice versa. A substance that when added to water increases the concentration of hydrogen ions (lowers the pH) is called an acid. A substance that reduces the concentration of hydrogen ions(raises the pH) is called a base. Finally some substances enable solutions to resist pH changes when an acid or base is added. Such substances are called buffers. Buffers are very important in helping organisms maintain a relatively constant pH. The pH scale is a scientific classification of how acidic or basic a substance is. The scale ranges form 0 to 14 -- a pH reading of 7 is neutral in nature , a pH less than 7 is acidic in nature and a pH greater than 7 is basic in nature.
