pH- Acids & Bases

Front

What is an acidic solution characterized by?

Back

An acidic solution has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions.

Front

What is the strongest base on the pH scale?

Back

14 is the strongest base on the pH scale.

Front

What happens to hydrogen ion concentration as pH decreases?

Back

The greater the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) as pH decreases.

Front

Which number on the pH scale represents the strongest acid?

Back

1 represents the strongest acid.

Front

What is the range of the pH scale?

Back

The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14.

Front

What does a pH of 7 indicate?

Back

A pH of 7 indicates a neutral solution, where hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions are equal.

Front

What is the relationship between pH and acidity?

Back

Lower pH values indicate higher acidity.

Front

What is the relationship between pH and basicity?

Back

Higher pH values indicate higher basicity.

Front

What ion is responsible for acidity in solutions?

Back

Hydrogen ion (H+) is responsible for acidity.

Front

What ion is responsible for basicity in solutions?

Back

Hydroxide ion (OH-) is responsible for basicity.
