PH Scale. Baisc, Neutral Or Acidic?

25. On the pH scale, a solution with a concentration of H3O+ equal to 1.0 x 10-7 is considered__________. basic neutral
acidic

26. On the pH scale, a solution with a concentration of H3O+ equal to 6.2 x 10-6 is considered__________. basic neutral
acidic

27. On the pH scale, a solution with a concentration of H3O+ equal to 5.1 x 10-13 is considered__________. basic neutral
acidic

28. On the pH scale, a solution with a concentration of H3O+ equal to 5 x 10-8 is considered__________. basic neutral
acidic

29. On the pH scale, a solution with a concentration of OH- is equal to 4.9 x 10-13 is considered__________. basic neutral
acidic

30. On the pH scale, a solution with a concentration of OH- equal to 3.2 x 10-8 is considered__________. basic neutral
acidic



please show me how this is done as well as the answers if you would so oblige. Thanks!

Answer:
neutral
acidic
basic
basic
acidc
acidic

If the pH = 7 then its neutral
if its between 0 and 6.9 then its acidic
If its between 7.1 and 14 then its basic


pH = -log[H3O+]
So just plug in the value they give you for the H3O+ and you get the pH

For the OH-
pOH = -log[OH-]
Then once you have the pOH, do: 14-pOh
and you have your pH
sorry, I can only tell you how to do it, not the answers!

water equilibrium constant = [H3O+] [OH-]


then you know that the pH is a log scale: pH = -log ([H3O+])

when you are given an OH- concentration, calculate the [H3O-] by rearranging the the first equation!

pH = 7 --> neutral
pH > 7 --> basic
pH< 7 --> acidic

you probably won't need to do the calculations every time... you might manage to spot a pattern.

hope this helps!
The pH scale is nothing more than a logarithmic expression of H+ concentration. A solution is acidic if the concentration of H+ (H3O+) is greater than 10-7 M, basic if less than 10-7 M and neutral at 10-7 M. Or thereabouts, you might also say anywhere between 10-6 and 10-8 M H+ is "neutral", but that is a subjective definition.

The concentration of H+ is also related to the OH- concentration in that [H+] x [OH-] = 10-14.

Those two definitions should make the answers readily apparent.
