Answer:

Hydrogen ions are spontaneously generated in pure water by the dissociation (ionization) of a small percentage of water molecules into equal numbers of hydrogen (H+) ions and hydroxide (OH–) ions. The hydroxide ions remain in solution because of their hydrogen bonds with other water molecules; the hydrogen ions, consisting of naked protons, are immediately attracted to un-ionized water molecules and form hydronium ions (H30+). By convention, scientists refer to hydrogen ions and their concentration as if they were free in this state in liquid water.

The concentration of hydrogen ions dissociating from pure water is 1 × 10-7 moles H+ ions per liter of water. The pH is calculated as the negative of the base 10 logarithm of this concentration:

The negative log of 1 × 10-7 is equal to 7.0, which is also known as neutral pH. Human cells and blood each maintain near-neutral pH.

pH Scale

The pH of a solution indicates its acidity or basicity (alkalinity). The pH scale is an inverse logarithm that ranges from 0 to 14: anything below 7.0 (ranging from 0.0 to 6.9) is acidic, and anything above 7.0 (from 7.1 to 14.0) is basic (or alkaline ). Extremes in pH in either direction from 7.0 are usually considered inhospitable to life. The pH in cells (6.8) and the blood (7.4) are both very close to neutral, whereas the environment in the stomach is highly acidic, with a pH of 1 to 2.

What is the pH of a solution of 1 x 10-5 M NaOH? Is the solution acidic or basic?
Anna007 [38]

Answer: to calculate pH use -log[H+] or - log[OH-]..the solution is basic as the “NaOH” is attached to a hydroxide.Since we need to find the pH (per hydrogen) and not the pOH( per hydroxide) we need to find the pOH of the substance first then we subtract that by 14 so we can arrive at the pH of the substance.

Explanation: So -log( 1 x 10^(-5)) = 5 which is the pOH.Now we subtract that by 14 which gives us -9 and now you’d multiply that by -1 bcuz we can’t have a negative so the pH of the substance is 9

What is the final concentration if 50.0 ml of a 2.00 m solution are diluted to 500.0 ml??
laila [671]
In order to calculate the final concentration of a dilution, it is important to memorise and remember the following equation:

C1V1/C2V2
Where: 
C1 = Initial concentration
V1 = Initial volume
C2 = Final concentration
V2 = Final volume

We are given three of the four, and we are asked to calculate the final concentration in moles, so we may substitute these given values into our equation as follows:

C1V1 = C2V2
(2.00m)(50.0 mL) = (C2)(500mL)
100 = C2(500mL)
C2 = 0.2 m

In the final step, we simply divide 100 by 500 to get our final concentration value.
