-6+1= -5
-5 is the true answer
Cars, aeroplanes, factories etc
Answer:
Potassium was the first metal to be isolated by electrolysis. It was discovered by the English chemist Sir Humphry Davy by decomposing molten potassium hydroxide (KOH) with a voltaic battery.
Explanation:
Given is the ratio of conjugate base and conjugate acid of phosphoric acid. pH of a substance is the concentration of the hydrogen ions in its solution and higher this concentration lower is the value of pH.
pKa value is a measure of the strength of acid, it is the negative log of acid dissociation constant Ka.
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
