Concept Introduction:
Solubility product relates the solubility of a salt with the concentration of ions present in the salt. Solubility product holds a direct relation with the solubility of the salt. The solubility product is the ability of the solid to dissolve in aqueous solution. The more the solubility product the more the solid dissolves in solution. It is denoted as

- When sodium fluoride (NaF) is added to an HF solution, what happens to the pH of the solution and why? (A) The pH will not change because NaF is an ionic compound that is neither acid nor base. (B) The pH will decrease because F– absorbs H+ and decreasing the H3O+(aq) concentration. (C) The pH will increase because F– absorbs H+ and decreasing the H3O+(aq) concentration. (D) The pH will not change because NaF is a neutral compound.arrow_forwardA 0.018 M solution of salicylic acid, HOC6H4CO2H, has the same pH as 0.0038 M HNO3solution.

The temperature of the first glass is at 298 K, while the second glass has a temperature of 303 K. It has been determined that the Kw value for the second glass of water is 1.47 x 10-¹4. Which of the following statements is true? (a) The pH of the room temperature glass is higher, but both glasses have the same acidity. (b) The room temperature glass of water has a higher pH, and is more basic than the other glass of water. (c) Both glasses of water are neutral, so both will have a pH of 7.00. (d) The room temperature water has a lower pH, so is more acidic. (e) The warmer glass of water has a lower pH, and is more acidic than the other glass of water.arrow_forward
