The correct answer is a. This is because the pH of a solution is defined as -log10(concentration of H+ ions). An inverse logarithmic scale such as this means that a solution with a lower concentration of H+ ions will have a higher pH than one with a higher concentration. Therefore we know that the pH of the second sample will be higher than the first.
Since the logarithmic scale has the base 10, a change by 1 on the scale is a consequence of multiplication/division of the H+ concentration by a factor of 10. As the scale is inverse, this means that a decrease of concentration by factor 1000 is equivalent to increasing the pH by (1000/10) = 3.
Answer:
D.) They often form hydroxide ions.
Explanation:
They generate hydroxide ions in water. they are soapy to touch and bitter in taste. they conduct electricity.
(all bases have hydroxide ions)
Answer:
Noble Gases are very stable because...
1) Noble Gases have a full octet
2) Low chemical reactivity
Explanation:
This means that is has 8 valence electrons so it won't need any more, so it is less likely to react with other substances.
