Questions and Answers

Which statement is true regarding pH levels?

  • As a solution's pH rises, it becomes more acidic.
  • A solution with a pH of 5 has more hydrogen ions than a solution with a pH of 8.
  • A solution with a pH of 10 is neutral.
  • As a solution's pH rises, it becomes more basic. (correct)
  • What defines a buffer system?

  • All buffers are composed of strong acids.
  • A buffer only works at a pH of 7.
  • A buffer changes the pH of a solution significantly.
  • A buffer is a system of chemicals that resists a change in pH. (correct)
  • Which statement accurately describes the behavior of acids in water?

  • All acids dissociate in water to give hydrogen ions and an anion. (correct)
  • Acids produce hydroxide ions when dissolved in water.
  • All acids are strong and dissociate completely in water.
  • Some acids do not release hydrogen ions in water.

    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.
