Five solutions $A,\,B,\,C,\,D$ and $E$ when tested with universal indicator showed $pH$ as $4,\,1,\,11,\,7$ and $9$, respectively. Which solution is
$(a)$ neutral ?
$(b)$ strongly alkaline ?
$(c)$ strongly acidic ?
$(d)$ weakly acidic ?
$(e)$ weakly alkaline ?
Arrange the $pH$ in increasing order of hydrogen-ion concentration.
$(a)$ Neutral $\rightarrow$ Solution $D$ with $pH\, 7$
$(b)$ Strongly alkaline $\rightarrow$ Solution $C$ with $pH\, 11$
$(c)$ Strongly acidic $\rightarrow$ Solution $B$ with $pH \,1$
$(d)$ Weakly acidic $\rightarrow$ Solution $A$ with $pH \,4$
$(e)$ Weakly alkaline $\rightarrow$ Solution $E$ with $pH \,9$
The $pH$ can be arranged in the increasing order of the concentration of hydrogen ions as:
$11 < 9 < 7 < 4 < 1$
A solution reacts with crushed egg-shells to give a gas that turns lime water milky. The solution contains
Name the sodium compound which is used for softening hard water.
Name the substance which on treatment with chlorine yields bleaching powder.
A solution turns red litmus blue, its $pH$ is likely to be
Do basic solutions also have $H^+_{(aq)}$ ions ? If yes, then why are these basic ?
