Question
A solution has a pH of 7.0. What would happen to the pH if H+ ions were added?
- pH would increase
- pH would decrease
- No effect on pH
- pH value may decrease or increase
Hint:
A solution has a pH of 7.0. if H+ ions were added, then the pH will decrease.
The correct answer is: pH would decrease
- From 0.1 to 10-14, this scale covers a fairly wide range of [H+]. We typically use [H+] instead of the pH value when [H+] is high. For instance, pH is zero when [H+]=1.0.
- The H+ stands for acids, and if the acid is added to the neutral solution, it becomes acidic and the pH gets down.
- Because we don't often use the expression pH = 0, you could find it strange. An [H+] of 2.0 M is the same as a pH of -0.30. Only academic exercises can have a pH value that is negative. Instead of using the pH scales, directly using concentrations makes more sense.
- Since the pH scale uses the negative log of [H+], it typically has positive values. Furthermore, [H+] decreases when pH increases.
