treatment for pH to obtain it in acceptable limit.
Answers
Answer:
The term pH is the acronym for ‘pondus Hydrogen’, which literally translates to ‘weight of Hydrogen’. The pH factor of any solution determines the acidic or alkaline nature of it. pH factor is generally expressed as a number without any unit.
Technically speaking the amount of free Hydrogen ions in the solution (H⁺) determines the acidic nature of the solution and the number of Hydroxide ions (OH⁻) determines the alkaline nature of it. If the amount of Hydrogen and Hydroxide ions are equal in a solution, then the solution is termed as a neutral solution, which has a pH factor of 7.
Any solution which has a pH factor of less than 7 is called as an acidic solution and any solution which has a pH factor of more than 7 is called as an alkaline solution.
The pH of water (H₂O) remains in the range of 0 to 7.
The acidity or alkalinity of a solution can be converted into the other way by the addition of water to the solution.
When water is added to an acidic solution, it causes the hydration reaction causing a formation of alkaline solution, as the hydrogen ions conjugates with the water molecules to form H₃O⁺. Similarly, when an alkaline solution is added to water it creates an acidic solution along with the release of hydroxide ions.
These could be depicted as shown in the image attached below:
