Higher the pH value of a solution, the more ___ it is.
Part 1: Alkaline
Conclusion
Therefore, the Higher the pH value of a solution, the more alkaline it is.
A solution X has a pH value of 2 and another solution Y has a pH value of 1. Choose the correct answer among the following options:
According to Arrhenius theory, acids and bases release H+ ions and OH- ions respectively in aqueous solution. However, their relative strengths are expressed in terms of pH value which is mathematically negative logarithm of H+ ion concentration. Infact, there is a scale known as pH scale which ranges from zero to 14. Solution with pH equal to 7 is regarded as neutral solution. Solution with pH less than 7 is acidic while the one with pH more than 7 is regarded as basic. It may be noted that more acidic is a solution, lesser will be its pH . The more alkaline is a solution, higher will be its pH value. Can we prepare a solution with a pH of more than 14?
‘More acidic a solution, more will it be its pH value’. Comment on the statement.
