Answer:
No
Explanation:
The pH scale is a scale graduated from 0-14 which shows the degree of acidity of alkalinity of a substance. The pH scale is graduated in such a way that 0-6.9 indicates acidity, 7.0 indicate a neutral substance, while a pH of 8-14 indicates alkalinity respectively.
There are three main definitions of acids/bases
- Arrhenius definition
-Brownstead-Lowry definition
-Lewis definition
Arrhenius explains acids as any substance that produces hydrogen ions as its only positive ion in solution while a base produces hydroxide ions as its only negative ion in solution. The pH scale is based on corresponding values of pH derived from aqueous solutions of these substances.
However, not all acids/bases produces hydrogen or hydroxide ions in solution. Brownstead-Lowry definition of acids and Lewis definition of acids could be extended to nonaqueous media where the pH can not be measured as there are no hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution.
This implies that pH measurement may not apply to acids/bases in the all the categories of acids/bases hence it can not be utilized for all acids and bases.
Arrhenius - sodium carbonate
Brownstead-Lowry - concentrated HF
Lewis acid - AlCl3

im missing something though
Answer: Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ----------> CaSO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Explanation:
Since this is a neutralization reaction, the end product would be salt and water. In this equation Calcium will displace hydrogen from the acid because it is more reactive, resulting in the formation of CaSO4 (salt), while the displaced H2 molecule combines with OH molecules to form water.
The equation of the reaction is thus;
Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ----------> CaSO4(aq) + H2O(l), in other to balance it, we add ''2'' to the water molecule in the right hand side of the equation.
Balance equation is
Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ----------> CaSO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
