Question

Write a paragraph (5-7 sentences) describing pH and conductivity.

Answer 1

Answer:

pH is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration, a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The pH scale usually ranges from 0 to 14. Aqueous solutions at 25°C with a pH less than 7 are acidic, while those with a pH greater than 7 are basic or alkaline. A pH level of 7.0 at 25°C is defined as "neutral" because the concentration of H3O+ equals the concentration of OH− in pure water. On the other hand, electrical conductivity is a non-specific measurement of the concentration of both positively and negatively charged ions within a sample. So the short answer to the question is as follows, the presence of any hydrogen ions present in a substance will impact the pH level and most probably influence conductivity levels. However, hydrogen ions make up only a small part of the ion concentration measured by a conductivity meter.
