Question

The water from hot springs near the Ebeko volcano in the Pacific Ocean has a very low pH.

Answer 1

A very low pH means high acidic water and the water will contain high concentration hydrogen ions [$H^+$].

pH scale helps us to measure the acidic or basic nature of a substance or water.

• The range of pH scale is between 0 to 14,

• a pH of 7 indicates the neutral solution or substance.

• if the pH of the substance is low, that is less than 7, the substance is acidic.

• also, if the pH of the substance is high, that is greater than 7,  the substance is alkaline.

In general, pH measures the relative amount of free hydrogen ion [$H^+$] and hydroxyl ions [$OH^{-1}$] present in a water.

• If a water contains high concentration of hydrogen ions [$H^+$], then the water is acidic,

• Also, if the water contains high concentration of hydroxyl ions [$OH^{-1}$] , then the water is basic.

Thus, a very low pH means high acidic water and the water will contain high concentration hydrogen ions [$H^+$].
