Indicate whether each of the following is acidic, basic, or neutral.
Drag the appropriate solution concentrations to their respective bins.
[ОН-] = 6.1 × 10^-4 М
[H30+] = 3.6 × 10^-8
[он-] = 5.3 × 10^-11M
[H30+] = 5.9 × 10^-6 M
[ОН-] = 6.1 × 10^-4 М - basic
[H30+] = 3.6 × 10^-8 - acidic
[он-] = 5.3 × 10^-11M - basic
[H30+] = 5.9 × 10^-6 M - acidic
To determine whether a solution is acidic, basic, or neutral, we need to look at the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) and hydronium ions (H3O+).
For an acidic solution, the concentration of H3O+ should be greater than the concentration of OH-.
For a basic solution, the concentration of OH- should be greater than the concentration of H3O+.
For a neutral solution, the concentration of OH- and H3O+ should be equal.
Let's evaluate each of the given solutions:
[ОН-] = 6.1 × 10^-4 M
[H30+] = 3.6 × 10^-8 M
Comparing the concentrations, [OH-] is greater than [H30+], so it is a basic solution.
[он-] = 5.3 × 10^-11 M
[H30+] = 5.9 × 10^-6 M
Here, [OH-] is much smaller than [H30+], indicating an acidic solution.
Therefore, the first solution is basic, and the second solution is acidic.
To determine whether a solution is acidic, basic, or neutral, we can compare the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) and hydronium ions (H3O+).
- A solution is considered acidic if the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+) is greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-).
- A solution is considered basic if the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) is greater than the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+).
- A solution is considered neutral if the concentrations of hydroxide ions (OH-) and hydronium ions (H3O+) are equal.
Let's evaluate each of the given concentrations:
[ОН-] = 6.1 × 10^-4 М
[H30+] = 3.6 × 10^-8
[он-] = 5.3 × 10^-11M
[H30+] = 5.9 × 10^-6 M
Comparing the concentrations, we can determine the nature of each solution:
1. [ОН-] = 6.1 × 10^-4 M: This concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) is greater than the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+). Therefore, this solution is basic.
2. [H30+] = 3.6 × 10^-8: This concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+) is greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-). Therefore, this solution is acidic.
3. [он-] = 5.3 × 10^-11 M: This concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) is extremely low compared to the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+). Therefore, this solution is acidic.
4. [H30+] = 5.9 × 10^-6 M: This concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+) is greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-). Therefore, this solution is acidic.
