Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), also known as lye, caustic soda and (incorrectly, according to IUPAC nomenclature) as sodium hydrate, has a pH of around 13.5 to 14, making it a strong alkaline solution when dissolved in a solvent such as water. It is used in many industries, mostly as a strong chemical base in the manufacture of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, soaps and detergents and as a drain cleaner. Worldwide production in 1998 was around 45 million tonnes. Sodium hydroxide is the most used base in chemical laboratories.
What else can I help you with?
What substance has the highest ph?
The substance with the highest pH is liquid ammonia, which has a pH of about 11.6.
Which substance would take more drops of antacid to neutralize a substance with a pH of 13 or a substance with a pH of 11?
It would take more drops of antacid to neutralize a substance with a pH of 13 compared to a substance with a pH of 11. This is because a substance with a pH of 13 is more basic and therefore requires more acidity to neutralize it.
How does the pH of a substance affect our environment?
The pH of a substance thrown in the environment can lead to a degradation of soils and waters.
You can find the pH of a substance by using?
using a pH meter or pH indicator strips, which change color depending on the acidity or alkalinity of the substance. Another method is using universal indicator solution that changes color at different pH levels, allowing you to estimate the pH of the substance based on the color observed.
A substance with a pH below 7 is......?
An acidic substance.
What substance has the highest ph?
The substance with the highest pH is liquid ammonia, which has a pH of about 11.6.
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.
What is the pH of a substance?
The pH is the negative log of the concentration of hydronium ions. (pH=-log [H3O+]) If the pH is high, the substance is basic. If it is low the substance is acidic. When the pH is exactly 7 the substance is neutral.
A substance has a pH of 7. Which of the following descriptions matches this pH?
A substance with a pH of 7 is not acidic nor is it basic. It is a neutral substance.
What is alkalis acid?
Alkali isn't an acid. Alkali and acid are terms used when the pH of a substance is a certain number, for example if a substance has a pH of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, then the substance is an acid. If the pH is 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15, then the substance is an alkali.
Can you find the pH of a substance with a thermometer?
The pH is determined with a pH-meter.
Why is there a pH scale?
The reason for a pH scale it to tell how basic or acidic a substance, or substance byproduct is.
What does a low pH indicate about the acidity level of a substance?
A low pH indicates that a substance is acidic.
What is the lowest pH level that can be measured in a substance?
The lowest pH level that can be measured in a substance is 0.
If the ph of a substance is 11 then that substance is?
If a substance has a PH of 11 then the substance is basic.
Which substance would take more drops of antacid to neutralize a substance with a pH of 13 or a substance with a pH of 11?
It would take more drops of antacid to neutralize a substance with a pH of 13 compared to a substance with a pH of 11. This is because a substance with a pH of 13 is more basic and therefore requires more acidity to neutralize it.
The ph of a substance can be determined by using a device called what?
If the substance is in liquid form, the pH may be determined by litmus paper.
