Explain: How does pH vary with hydronium ion and hydroxide ion concentrations in water?
Answers
Answer:
Two water molecules will sometimes combine into hydronium andhydroxide ions. Pure water is considered to neutral and thehydronium ion concentration is 1.0 x 10-7 mol/L which is equal to thehydroxide ion concentration. So thepH is the -log of the [hydronium ion].
Hello,
Here we go,
pH is measured with the pH scale which is also known as universal indicator which is the colour combination of different acid base indicators it will indicate the pH level by different colour coding.
pH level varies in water for hydronium and hydroxyl ions.
pH level is directly proportional to oo hydroxyl ions where as inversely proportional to the hydronium ions.
when the concentration of hydroxyl ion increases PH value also increases but when the concentration of hydronium ion increases PH value decreases.
we can say that in this way PH value is related to hydronium and hydroxyl ions in water.
I hope my answer will help you.
