Question

A student measured the pH values of four solutions P, Q, R and S as 10, 6, 0 and 12 respectively. The solution which is the most acidic is likely to be the solution :
(1) P
(2) Q
(3) R
(4) S

Solution

pH scale ranges from 0-14, acids have 0-6.9 range, bases have 7.1-14 and pH = 7 is neutral. Lower the value of pH stronger will be the acid, so solution having pH = 0 is the strongest acid, so R is the strongest acid.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Q. Four beakers are labelled as P, Q, R and S. A student puts salt solutions of different concentrations in the four beakers without noting which beaker contains solution of which concentration. A solid suspended from the hook of a spring balance gives a reading of 150g in air. When this solid, while still suspended from the hook of spring balance, is fully immersed in beakers P, Q, R, and S, the readings shown by the spring balance in the four beakers P, Q, R and S are 110g, 130g, 140g and 120g respectively. The most concentrated solution is contained in the beaker labelled as :
(1) P
(2) Q
(3) R
(4) S

Q. On adding a few drops of universal indicator solution to three unknown colourless solutions P, Q, and R taken separately in three test-tubes shown in the diagrams, a student observed the changes in colour as green in solution P, red solution Q and violet in solution R.

The decreasing order of the pH of the three solution is :
(1) P > Q > R
(2) R > P > Q
(3) Q > P > R
(4) R > Q > P
