Why is water considered to be neutral?

Chemistry

deff fn [24]3 years ago

Explanation:

Because it has a pH of 7, water is considered to be neutral. It is neither an acid nor a base but is the reference point for acids and bases.

Answer: Clara’s answer is essentially correct; but a little more might help to make the point. To Discuss pH, the concentration of [H+] is given in this way: pH = - log [H+]. In pure water, that concentration is 1 x 10^-7, the log of which is -7, the opposite is 7, thus the pH = 7. The [OH-] is also equal to the [H+], and is an ideal way of saying pure “water is equally as acidic as it is basic”, and is therefore neutral.

Forces between similar molecules are said to be
podryga [215]

Answer:

Forces between similar molecules are said to be <em>cohesive</em> while those between different types of molecules are said to be <em>adhesive</em>.

Water 'beads' due to its strong <em>cohesive</em> forces. The meniscus of water in a glass tube is <em>concave</em> because the <em>adhesive</em> forces are strong.

Explanation:

The water in a tube has stronger adhesive forces between the water and glass molecules, so the cohesive forces between water molecules are weaker. That makes the water 'ascend' through the tube, giving a concave form of the meniscus. Another example is mercury, which is the opposite. In this case, the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive ones, thus the meniscus is convex.

Describe a polyhydroxyl alcohol.
Mademuasel [1]
With a name like poly hydroxyl alcohol, it suggests that the alcohol has more than one alcohol group. Thus any alcohol with more than one hydroxyl is a polyhydroxyl alcohol. An example that pops into mind is ethanediol (CH2OHCH2OH) this has 2 hydroxyl groups and is an alcohol, thus a polyhydroxyl alcohol
