Study Notes
Acid-Base Chemistry Concepts
- A solution with a higher pH is more alkaline, not more acidic; therefore, the statement regarding rising pH becoming more acidic is incorrect.
- Buffers play a crucial role in maintaining pH stability in various chemical and biological systems by neutralizing acids and bases.
- Acids typically dissociate in water, releasing hydrogen ions (H⁺) and anions; however, not all acids fully dissociate (e.g., weak acids).
- A solution with a pH of 10 has significantly fewer hydrogen ions compared to one with a pH of 2; pH decreases by one unit indicates a tenfold increase in hydrogen ion concentration.
