ok the ph of water is 7
when water is added to the acid the ph of the solution will be from between the pH of the acid and the 7 (ph of water) it cant be more than 7
The same is for alkali
i will try to explain it, the substance only shows its acidity or alkalinity only when it is dissolved in water, this is because pH is the measure of the concentration of H+(which only form when the acid or the alkaline dissociate in water) the higher the concentration of H+ the lower the pH, u might then ask how does it show alkalinity well when an alkaline substance is dissolved in water it forms OH- ions these react with the H+ ions reducing its concentration and so increasing the pH. i hope i didnt confuse u, i just tried to explain to u why this happens, i dont like ppl who memorize onlyAha , So When we add water over Acid the PH increases but doesn't exceed the PH of water , So does the PH of an alkali increases also When we add water ? Since the presence Of OH ion ?
science isnt just for examinations, it is for lifeWho cares its paper 1
i didnt study for paper 1 at all, i just did papers, this i studied for paper 3Not if ur in skool.. we r gonna do the same things in AS and in A level and in College so no need to really study that much for p1
So simply when we add water to acid the PH increases and when we add water to a base the PH increases too ?I am i right ?i will try to explain it, the substance only shows its acidity or alkalinity only when it is dissolved in water, this is because pH is the measure of the concentration of H+(which only form when the acid or the alkaline dissociate in water) the higher the concentration of H+ the lower the pH, u might then ask how does it show alkalinity well when an alkaline substance is dissolved in water it forms OH- ions these react with the H+ ions reducing its concentration and so increasing the pH. i hope i didnt confuse u, i just tried to explain to u why this happens, i dont like ppl who memorize only
I careWho cares its paper 1
a water is like a medium that tells us if this substance is acidic or alkaline and as you know from the pH chart acidic is from 1 to 6 and alkaline is from 8 to 14 and so when an acid dissolves in water the ph will decrease this is because the original pH of the water is actually 7, however when we add an alkaline it will increase this is because obviously 8 to 14 is bigger than 7So simply when we add water to acid the PH increases and when we add water to a base the PH increases too ?I am i right ?

if u dont understand ask again
nope it isnt, i think u got confused, an acid doesnt show its acidic properties unless dissolved in water and so before dissolving in water it is techinically not an acid (thats why litmus paper have to be damp), the original pH of the water is 7 but when this acidic substance is added it decreases and the range is 1-6 pH, now doesnt this mean that the pH of the water decreased? and vice versa for the alkaline substance. leave the pH changes of the acid, all u need to know is how the pH of the water changes (recap it decreases with an acid and increases with an alkaline) thats all u need to know.I think that what i meant ? sa7 ? , The Ph of an ACID , when the water is added to it , increases since the PH of an acid is less than the PH of water due to the presence of OH , And When we add water to a BASE , the PH of the BASE increases .
I hope that is right Incha'allah
