If the hydrogen ion concentration is 1 x 10-9M then the solution is: |

[OH-] = 1 x 10-10M and has a pH of 4. |
If the hydroxide ion concentration is 1 x 10-6 M, then the hydrogen ion concentration is: |
[H+] = 1 x 10-8 M and has a pH of 8. |
The symbol for ‘concentration’ is: |
brackets…[ ] |
The concentration of hydronium ions in a neutral solution is: |
[H+] = 1 x 10-7 M and has a pH of 7. |
The formula for pH is: example, hydronium concentration = [2.8 x 10-3M] |
pH = -log [H ion] and would be keyed into the calculator as: 2.8 EE 3 ± log ± = 2.6 and would be acidic |
What is the pH of a solution that has a hydronium concentration of 4.8 x 10-7M? |
4.8 EE 7 ± log ± = 6.3 and would be acidic |
What is the pH of a solution that has a hydronium concentration of 1.3 x 10-9M? |
1.3 EE 9 ± log ± = 8.8 and would be basic |
What is the pH of [10-11M]? |
1 EE 11 ± log ± = 11 and would be basic |
When the pH of a solution is between 0 and 6.99, the solution is: |
acidic, pH < 7 |
When the pH of a solution is between 7.1 and 14, the solution is: |
basic, pH > 7 |
When the pH of a solution is exactly 7 the solution is: |
neutral |
When the hydronium ion concentration is 1x10-7M. |
neutral or pH 7. |
pH 3 is ten times _____ than pH 4 |
