A sour-tasting material (usually in a solution) that dissolves metals and other materials. Technically, a material that produces positive ions in solution. An acid<span> is the opposite of a base and has a pH of 0 to 7.</span>
Vinegar pH 3.2: Weak acid
Battery acid pH 0.5: Strong acid
Shampoo pH 7.0: Neutral
Ammonia pH 11.1 Strong base
<span>the pH of a 0.050 M triethylamine, is 11.70
</span>
For triehtylamine,

, the reaction will be

and we know, pH = -log[H+] and pOH = -log[OH-]
Also, pOH + pH = 14
Now, the Kb value = 5.3 x 10^-4
And
![kb = \frac{( [( C_{2}H_{5})_{3}NH^{+} ]* OH^{-} )}{[( C_{2}H_{5})_{3}N]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=kb%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B%28%20%5B%28%20C_%7B2%7DH_%7B5%7D%29_%7B3%7DNH%5E%7B%2B%7D%20%5D%2A%20%20OH%5E%7B-%7D%20%29%7D%7B%5B%28%20C_%7B2%7DH_%7B5%7D%29_%7B3%7DN%5D%7D%20)
thus, [OH-] =(5.3 ^ 10-4) ^2 / 0.050
=0.00516 M
Thus, pOH = 2.30
pH = 14 - pOH = 11.7
In thermal cracking, high temperatures (typically in the range of 450°C to 750°C) and pressures (up to about 70 atmospheres) are used to break the large hydrocarbons into smaller ones. Thermal cracking gives mixtures of products containing high proportions of hydrocarbons with double bonds - alkenes.
