Questions1. T/F When acid is added to pure water, Kw, the ion‐product constant of water,
changes.2. A solution containing 10‐8 M HCl and 10‐8 M acetic acid contains H+ which is
supplied mostly by A) the strong acid.B) the weak acid.C) both the strong and the weak acids.D) water.
3. Compare solution A with pH = 4 to solution B with pH = 6.A) The concentration of hydronium ion in solution A is twice that in
solution B.B) Solution A has greater buffering capacity than solution B.C) The concentration of hydronium ion in solution A is 100 times that
in solution B.D) The hydroxide concentrations are equal in the two solutions since
pH only measures the concentration of H+.

pH of Neutral Water
pH of Solutions
• If acid is added to water, the concentration of hydronium increases and pH decreases
• If base is added to water, the concentration of hydronium decreases (ion product of water) and the pH increases
• Addition of MORE acid vs. addition of a STRONGER acid
