Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The pOH of solution should be calculated. If the solution is acidic, neutral or basic should be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
The concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution determines the acidity of a solution. If concentration of hydrogen ion is more than the solution is more acetic, if it is low, solution is less acidic.
The pH of solution is defined as negative log of hydrogen ion concentration thus, it can be calculated as follows:
Here,
Similarly, pOH of a solution is defined as negative log of hydroxide ion concentration thus, it can be calculated as follows:
Here,
pH and pOH of a solution are related to each other as follows:
In a pH scale, if the value of pH is below 7 the solution is said to be acidic in nature, if the pH value is above 7 it is said to be basic in nature. At pH 7, the solution is neutral.
(b)

- . Water is the most common amphoteric substance, which means that, depending on the circumstances, water can behave either as an acid or as a base. Using HF as an example of an acid and NH3 as an example of a base, write equations for these substances reacting with water, in which water behaves as a base and as an acid, respectively.arrow_forwardThe ideal pH of a swimming pool is 7.2.
