Question #552ea

1 Answer

pH basically gives indication of how acidic it is.
Density is the ratio of is mass to its volume.

Explanation:

he pH scale ranges from #0# to #14#, with #[0,7)# being acidic and the lower the number the more acidic, that is, the higher is the degree of ionization in water to form a high concentration of hydrogen or oxonium ions in solution, and #(7,14]# being basic or alkaline and the higher the number, the more basic. A pH of #7# is neutral.

The density of water is #"1 g/cm"""^3# or #"1000 kg/m"""^3#.

So a density of #1.0312# (in #"g/cm"""^3# presume) is slightly more dense than water so would most likely sink in water if it is immiscible.

The relative density of a material (also called specific gravity) is a ratio of the density f the material to that of water at 4 degrees Celsius, which is the temp at which water has its maximum density.
