Question

What would you predict about a chemical that has a hydrogen ion concentration of 1×10 to the -12

It is basic

It is acidic

It is a buffer

It has a pH of 7

Answer 1

It is basic.

Explanation:-

Given hydrogen ion concentration [H+] = 1×10^-12

Using the formula

pH = - log [H+]

= - log [ 1 x 10^-12]

= 12

Since the pH is more than 7, the chemical is basic
