The pH of pure water is neutral because the concentration of hydronium ions equals that of hydroxide ions.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
Water is one of the most important constituents of living being. It is said that there is no life without water. So that water need to neutral in nature to save life. Pure water is composed of hydronium
and hydroxide
ions. It is known that hydronium ions are acidic in nature with concentration of
.
Similarly, the hydroxide ions which are basic in nature will be in same concentration as that of hydronium ions. So, as the concentration of basic and acidic elements are equal with the same strength of pH, the combination of these ions lead to formation of pure water with the pH being neutral.
Basicity of an acid is the number of hydrogen ions which can be produced by one molecule of an acid
Answer:
Maintenance of homeostasis usually involves negative feedback loops. These loops act to oppose the stimulus, or cue, that triggers them.
Answer:
By placing the steel wool in a jar with plenty of oxygen and water, you start a chemical reaction. The iron and the oxygen react to form a new reddish-brown substance, called iron oxide or rust. In this experiment, the water level in the glass should rise as the oxygen inside combines with the iron in the steel wool.
