Document Summary

The ph concept: a compact way to represent solution acidity, ph decreases as [h+] increases, ph range between 0 and 14 in aqueous solutions at 24c. Ph range: ph = 7; neutral, ph > 7; basic. Higher the ph, more basic: ph < 7; acidic. Lower the ph, more acidic (ph scale is exponential) The pha method of expressing acid strength. The salt of a strong acid and a strong base does not hydrolyze, so the solution is neutral (weak conjugate acid/base) The salt of a strong acid and a weak base hydrolyzes to produce an acidic solution. The salt of a weak acid and a strong base hydrolyzes to produce a basic solution. The salt of a weak acid and a weak base hydrolyzes to produce a slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly basic solution, depending on the relative weakness of the acid and base. Maintains ph by neutralizing added acid or base.
