Why is it impossible for a solution to become both more basic and more acidic at the same time?

Chemistry

Ganezh [65]2 years ago

A solution cannot be both acidic and basic at the same time because an increase in the H+ concentration will lead to a decrease in OH- concentration in the same solution.

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

pH is the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH = -log [H+]

Also

pOH = -log [OH-]

Mathematically, pH + pOH = 14

Thus, for a given solution, as the pH increases, pOH decreases, and vice versa.

An increase in H+ concentration will decrease OH- concentration is the

reason why it's impossible.

<h3>What is an Acidic and Basic compound?</h3>

An acidic compound has the presence of H+ ions in them while basic

compounds have the presence of OH- ions.

In a solution , as the number of Hydrogen ions increases, it leds to a

corresponding decrease in the Hydroxide ions which is the reason why

they can't coexist at the same time.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

C. The product must solve the problem for which it was designed.

Explanation:

Technological design is the study, development and application of technological process with the intent of designing a product to solve required problem.The process could be based on the use of a computer.

Generally, technological process and development always tend to design a problem solver product. Through this process, more new technologies are produced.

Therefore in technological process, the product must solve the problem for which it was designed.

Lina20 [59]

It knows that when water evaporates, it carries heat energy away with it. 
So your body puts some water out on your skin, and hopes that it will
evaporate.  We call that "perspiring" or "sweating".

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:the sodium carboxylate salt

Explanation:

The reaction between the carboxylic acid and the sodium hydroxide yields a sodium carboxylate. This sodium carboxylate is an ionic in nature; RCCOO-Na+. This can effectively interact with water and remain in the aqueous phase since it is composed of the carboxylate ion and sodium ion in solution. The aqueous phase always contains water soluble ionic substances of which the sodium carboxylate is a typical example of such.
