Question
Chapter 14, Problem 1CE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The solution which has the highest acidity is to be identified among solutions of pH 1, pH 5, and pH 9.

Concept introduction:

The pH value ranges from 014. The substance that has pH<7 is considered as acidic whereas the substance that has pH>7 is considered as basic. The neutral pH value is 7. A general dissociation reaction of acid is shown below.

HA(aq)H+(aq)+A(aq)

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1CE

The solution which has the highest acidity among solutions of pH 1, pH 5, and pH 9 is a solution with pH 1.

Explanation of Solution

The given value of pH is 1, 5, and 9.

The formula of pH is given as shown below.

pH=log[H+]…(1)

Where,

[ H+ ] is the concentration of H+ ion.

The value of pH decreases as the concentration of H+ ion increases in solution. The solution that has higher concentration of H+ ions is more acidic than the solution that has a lower concentration of H+ ions.

Therefore, the solution with lowest pH (pH 1) has highest acidity.

Conclusion

The solution with pH 1 has highest acidity.
