acids and bases

Question 1

Define pH

Answer 1

A measure of the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution

Question 2

Describe the hydrogen/hydroxide concentration of acidic solutions

Answer 2

The concentration of hydrogen ions is greater then the concentration of hydroxide ions

Question 3

Describe the hydrogen/hydroxide concentration on alkaline solutions

Answer 3

Hydroxide ion concentration is greater then the concentration of hydrogen ions

Question 4

Describe the hydrogen/hydroxide concentration of neural solutions

Answer 4

Equal concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions

Question 5

When an acidic solution is diluted with water

Answer 5

Concentration of hydrogen ions decreases
Solution becomes less acidic
Ph rises towards 7

Question 6

When an alkaline solution is diluted with water

Answer 6

The concentration of hydroxide ions decreases
The solution becomes less alkaline
pH decrease towards 7
