Answer:

A potentiometric pH meter is used to measure the pH of a solution.

Explanation:

A pH meter is an common instrument that is used to measure the hydrogen-ion concentration in aqueous solutions , the meter indicates its acidity or alkalinity and is expressed as pH.

The pH meter measures the difference in electrical potential between a pH electrode and a reference electrode, hence the pH meter is often called a potentiometric pH meter. The difference in electrical potential is related to the pH of the solution.

Potentiometric pH meters consists of a simple electronic amplifier and a pair of electrodes, alternatively it may consist of a combination electrode, and some form of display calibrated in pH units. It usually has a glass electrode and a reference electrode, or a combination electrode. The electrodes, or probes, are inserted into the solution to be tested and pH values are read off.

you are given a cube with a length of 2.5 cm a width of 2.5 and a height of 2.5cm you place it on a scale and it's mass is 295g

Rama09 [41]

Density (p) = Mass / volume

P=295/15.625

=18.88

therefore p=18.88

Stomach acid has a pH of about 2. What conclusion can you reach about the pH of an antacid solution that is used to neutralize e

ehidna [41]

Explanation:

When a substance or solution has pH equal to 7 then it is known as a neutral solution. And a solution with pH more than 7 is basic in nature.

Antacid is a base that has chemical formula $Mg(OH)_{2}$ and it is also known as magnesium hydroxide.

Hence, an antacid has pH greater than 7 (making it basic) so that it can neutralize the acid.

Therefore, when excess of acid is formed in the stomach then there occurs more hydrogen ions. Due to which pain is felt in the stomach and in this situation when an antacid is consumed then it releases hydroxide ions as it is a base due to which acid gets neutralized and we feel relieved.

Hence, we can conclude that the pH of an antacid solution that is used to neutralize excess stomach acid is more than 7.
