Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze question 13

pH is a logarithmic scale for hydrogen - ion concentration, not carbon - ion concentration.

Step2: Analyze question 14

The pH scale is logarithmic. A decrease of 1 in pH means the solution is 10 times more acidic, and an increase of 1 means it is 10 times more basic.

Step3: Calculate pH for 0.0235 M HCl in question 15

HCl is a strong acid, so [H⁺]=0.0235 M. Using the formula pH = -log[H⁺], we have pH=-log(0.0235). pH = 1.63

Step4: Calculate pH for 0.05 M HCl in question 16

Since HCl is a strong acid, [H⁺]=0.05 M. Using the formula pH = -log[H⁺], we get pH=-log(0.05). pH = 1.30

Answer:

  1. B. False
  2. A. True
  3. 1.63
  4. 1.30
