Document Summary
Hydrophilic: water loving or attracted to water: polar (charged) Base: substance which accepts h pins or donates oh ph= negative log to the ion concentration declines as h ion concentration increases increase as h ion concentration decreases. This means for every unit of increase or decrease, the ion concentrations change by a factor of 10 every time you move up a unit it increases by 10 ph scale runs from 0 -14. Less than seven is acid and greater than seven is base. Bu ers are substances that minimize chances if the h ion or oh ion concentration. If you retain co2 your ph gets lower. Acid rain normal rain ph is about 5. 6 any rain below that is acidic occurs in high altitude systems. Acidi cation of seawater and coral reefs reduction in carbonate ions in seawater. 1)what is the ph of a liquid that has a [h+] of 0. 0001? ph= -1 log[. 0001]
