Easier using pH scale than Conc [H+]• Conc H+ increase 10x from 0.0001(10-4) to 0.001(10-3) - pH change by 1 unit from pH 4 to 3• pH 3 is (10x) more acidic than pH 4• 1 unit change in pH is 10 fold change in Conc [H+]

Conc OH- increase ↑ by 10x

When equal volume of four 1M solutions are arranged in order of increasing pH (lowest pH first), what is the correct order?A. CH3COOH < HNO3 < CH3CH2NH2 < KOHB. HNO3 < CH3COOH < CH3CH2NH2 < KOHC. CH3CH2NH2 < HNO3 < CH3COOH < KOHD. KOH < CH3CH2NH2 < CH3COOH < HNO3

pH of a solution changes from pH =2 to pH =5. What happens to the concentration of H+ ions during this pH change?

A. Decrease by factor of 1000

B. Increase by factor of 1000

C. Decrease by factor of 100

List two ways to distinguish between strong and weak acid/base 6

By Conductivity measurement

1M Strong Acid – Ionise completely – More H+ ion – pH lower ↓1M Weak Acid – Ionise partially – Less H+ ion – pH higher ↑

1M Strong Acid – Ionise completely – More H+ ion – Conductivity higher ↑1M Weak Acid – Ionise partially – Less H+ ion – Conductivity lower ↓

By pH measurement

Which method will distinguish bet equimolar strong base and strong acid?i) Add magnesium to each solution and observe formation bubblesii) Add aqueous sodium hydroxide to each solution and measure temp changeiii) Use each solution in circuit with battery/lamp to see brightness lamp
