Answer:
weak acid
Explanation:
pH scale is from 0 to 14
pH =7 is for water which is neutral. it is neither acidic or basic as the hydrogen ion concentration is equal to hydroxyl ion concentration.
Lesser the pH value than 7 greater the acidic nature. And greater the pH value than 7 more the basic nature.
Given pH=3-7 So the indicated interval represents weakly acidic.
Answer:
E) 2.38
Explanation:
The pH of any solution , helps to determine the acidic strength of the solution ,
i.e. ,
- Lower the value of pH , higher is its acidic strength
and ,
- Higher the value of pH , lower is its acidic strength .
pH is given as the negative log of the concentration of H⁺ ions ,
hence ,
pH = - log H⁺
From the question ,
the concentration of the solution is 0.0042 M , and being it a strong acid , dissociates completely to its respective ions ,
Therefore , the concentration of H⁺ = 0.0042 M .
Hence , using the above equation , the value of pH can be calculated as follows -
pH = - log H⁺
pH = - log ( 0.0042 M )
pH = 2.38 .
The correct answer would be C2H60
