The following table lists the pH values of some substances. Solution pH Hydrochloric acid 1 Milk 6 Pure water 7 Baking soda 9 Sodium hydroxide 14 What would happen to the pH of an acid and a base when each is diluted (pure distilled water is added to it)?

When pure distilled water is added to the acid then the pH value of the acid increases and the acid becomes dilute i.e solution becomes less acidic. In the case of base pH value decreases and basic strength decreases i.e it becomes less basic solution.

The pH of three solutions is given in the table. Answer the questions that follow. Solution pH P 1 Q 7 R 14 Which of these solutions could possibly react with zinc metal to produce hydrogen gas?

Generally, a metal reacts with an acid to produce salt and hydrogen gas. When zinc metal reacts with strong acids like hydrochloric acid which has pH value nearly 1 , zinc chloride and hydrogen gas are formed. The reaction is shown below. Zn s + 2 HCl aq → ZnCl 2 aq + H 2 g Bases react with amphoteric metals to liberate hydrogen gas. Zinc reacts with strong base like sodium hydroxide (pH = 14 ) to form sodium zincate and hydrogen gas. The reaction is: Zn + 2 NaOH → Na 2 ZnO 2 + H 2 Hence, P and R solution which has pH 1 and 14 respectively can react with zinc.

The pH of three solutions is given in the table. Answer the questions that follow. Solution pH P 1 Q 7 R 14 Which of these solutions could be formed by the reaction of a metal oxide with water?

Metal oxides when dissolved in water forms a basic solution. The pH value of solution with pH 14 is basic in nature. Hence, solution R could be formed by the reaction of a metal oxide with water.

The pH of three solutions is given in the table. Answer the questions that follow. Solution pH P 1 Q 7 R 14 Which of these solutions could be the raw material for the industrial manufacture of chlorine?

The industrial manufacture of chlorine is done by using sodium chloride solution which is a neutral salt. Its salt solution will have pH value 7 . Hence, solution Q could be the correct material for manufacturing chlorine gas.
