Solution X has a pH of 9.0, and solution Y has a pH of 7.0.
a. Which solution is more acidic?

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Understand the pH scale: The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, where a pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution, a pH of 7 is neutral, and a pH greater than 7 indicates a basic (alkaline) solution.
Compare the pH values of the two solutions: Solution X has a pH of 9.0, which is greater than 7, making it basic. Solution Y has a pH of 7.0, which is neutral.
Recall that acidity increases as the pH decreases. A lower pH corresponds to a higher concentration of hydrogen ions \( [H^+] \).
Since solution Y has a lower pH (7.0) compared to solution X (9.0), solution Y is closer to the acidic range of the pH scale.
Conclude that solution Y is more acidic than solution X because it has a lower pH value.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

pH Scale

The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, ranging from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is considered neutral, values below 7 indicate acidity, and values above 7 indicate alkalinity. Thus, the lower the pH value, the more acidic the solution.

Acidic vs. Alkaline Solutions

Acidic solutions have a higher concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) compared to hydroxide ions (OH-), leading to a pH below 7. Conversely, alkaline solutions have more hydroxide ions, resulting in a pH above 7. Understanding this distinction is crucial for determining the relative acidity of solutions.

Comparative pH Analysis

To compare the acidity of two solutions, one can directly assess their pH values. In this case, solution X with a pH of 9.0 is alkaline, while solution Y with a pH of 7.0 is neutral. Therefore, solution Y is more acidic than solution X, as it is closer to the acidic end of the pH scale.
