Question

Pure water is neutral. What is the appropriate justification for this?

A.Water has equal H+ and OH- ions, making its pH 7, which is considered a neutral pH.

B.Water has more H+ than OH- ions, making its pH 5, which is considered a neutral pH.

C.Water has more OH- than H+ ions, making its pH 8, which is considered a neutral pH.

Answer 1

A good pimp slap

Answer 2

B

Answer 3

well that's wrong !

Answer 4

Neutral pH is when the pH is 7

Answer 5

That is because the Kw of pure water is 1* 10^-14
Therefore pH+pOH = 14
Since pure water has the same amount of H^+ and OH ^- ions
pH = pOH
therefore substitute it to the above equation
2pH =14
pH= 7

Answer 6

And also @SkyVoltage pH 5 is never considered as neutral !!!!!! It is acidic

Answer 7

if i am wrong why the medal?

Answer 8

@Rushwr

Answer 9

did you give me a medal?

Answer 10

No its fine i know im not smart no need to prove it

Answer 11

Answer 13

I was just saying incase if u weren't sure about my answer :)

Answer 14

hey can you check my answer that i gave that one guy

Answer 15

7 is neutral. At 7, the concentration of H+ ions and H- ions are equal. 5 is acidic since it has more H+ ions than OH- ions. I apologize for medaling you, I thought you said the answer was A. You did your best though!
