Under what soil condition do you think a farmer would treat the soil of his fields with quick lime (calcium oxide) or slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) or chalk (calcium carbonate)?
What effect does the concentration of H+
(aq) ions have on the nature of the solution?
You have two solutions, A and B. The pH of solution A is 6 and pH of solution B is 8. Which solution has more hydrogen ion concentration? Which of this is acidic and which one is basic?
How is the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+ ) affected when a solution of an acid is diluted?
While diluting an acid, why is it recommended that the acid should be added to water and not water to the acid?
Why do HCl, HNO3, etc., show acidic characters in aqueous solutions while solutions of compounds like alcohol and glucose do not show acidic character?
