Question

When you add water to an acidic solution, describe what happens to the $\mathrm{pH}$ of that solution.

David Collins · Accepted Answer

question number one in this section asks you what happens when you add water to an acid and how the pH of the solution changes. I&#x27;m assuming that they&#x27;re suggesting more specifically what happens when you add water to ah solution that contains an acid that already has hydrogen ions that have been created due to the dissociation of the acid. If we were to add more water to this acidic solution and increase its volume, then we&#x27;re not going to change the number of hydrogen ions present. But we are going to change the volume, so the concentration of the hydrogen ions as the volume increases is going to decrease. And as the hydrogen ion concentration decreases, then pH being equal to the negative log, the hydrogen ion concentration is going to increase. So when we dilute and acid, the hydrogen ion concentration decreases. But the pH increases

Anthony Han · Answer

So here we are asked to determine how solution is affected when you&#x27;re going to add some sort of an acid. So regardless of what you do since acids dissociate to produce H plus and ph is defined as the negative log of the concentration of H plus, regardless of what you do in this case the concentration of hydro knee um is going to increase and when the concentration of hydrogen is going to increase, the pH is going to decrease regardless. So this would be and your choice a however, the extent at which the pH decreases really depends on multiple factors. And these include factors such as concentration. So if you have a much larger concentration acid, there will likely be a greater production of hydro knee um ions and this results in a larger decrease in ph. Also, other factors are basically whether or not you have a strong acid or a weak acid, so strong assets completely dissociate into solution. So they are able to produce a larger change for the same concentration of weak acids, which do not completely dissociate into solution. So this gives the main principle of what occurs when you dissociate dissolve in acid into a solution, And this is our final answer.

Ronald Prasad · Answer

ph values decrease as the acidity increases because Ph is negative log function. So it&#x27;s an inverse relationship. So as the each 30 plus goes up, the pH will go down.

Jessica Wooten · Answer

folkloric acid is placed in water. The two ions that form are from the hydrochloric acid, and these include hydrogen, which loses an electron to become a plus. One charge cat eye on and chlorine gains an electron to become an anti arm called chloride. When we look at hydrochloric acid and other strong assets, they release electrons much more in water. Then we gases such as vinegar or Limoges. And what happens when these hydrogen ions are released in water is they decrease the pH because pH is defined as the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration. And so as the higher on hydrogen ion concentration increases, the PH decreases.

Wilson Ma · Answer

So in the solution aged three o plus and, oh, age minus, they could put they conform water. It&#x27;s an acid base. Usual ization reaction. So when H three plus increases, oh ish miners decreases because Maura wage minus is neutralized, is it? Two replies decreases. Oh, ish miners increases because last wish minus is, um, initialized.

Catherine Lemar · Answer

a buffer system maintains pH. We have a buffer system of the Ph of four and add pure water, so this will be our buffer and we had pure water. We will find that there&#x27;s no change in our pH because the buffer is maintaining the pH at four.
