Ilan00 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hello How will the pH of a solution change when a base is added to an acidic environment, neutral or very basic ? It seems to me that both answers can be correct, right? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensei Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) What pH tells you about solution? What does it measure.. ? What reaction occurs between acid and base.. ? Edited November 2, 2018 by Sensei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studiot Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Is this homework/coursework? You need more information because there may be little or no change depending upon the relative amounts (buffer solutions) Or there may be a change of pH all the way through from very low to very high, again depending upon the relative amounts.

Ilan00 Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) This is for an homework. I'll ask the Teaching assistant His answer : Any data is missing.You need to answer what will happen to pH. However, you cou can specify in more detail what happens if you add a lot or a little bit of a base." Edited November 2, 2018 by Ilan00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only one wondering if that should be interpreted as three questions? How will the pH of a solution change when a base is added to an acidic environment, neutral or very basic ?

studiot Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) Since we don't know enough about the context and academic environment, asking your teaching assistant was a good plan. A pity she was not more forthcoming. In relation to John Cutherber's valuable comment a good indicator might be the marks. Is the question worth three marks or three half marks or just one mark?
