Results

Concentration pH pH after dilution
0.1M HCl 1.0 2.0
0.1M NaOH 13.0 12.0

pH is a logarithmic scale, for every 10 times dilution pH changes by 1 unit.

Here is a table which shows results of our experiment.


pH of 0.1 M Hydrocholric acid is 1. When diluted, acidity decreases.

After dilution, pH was found to be 2.


Similarly, pH of 0.1 M NaOH is 13. When diluted, alkalinity decreases.


Hence, after dilution, pH was found to be 12.


Since pH is a logarithmic scale, for every 10 times dilution pH changes by 1 unit.

Slide Number


Results


Solution pH Solution pH
1 M Ethanoic acid 2.38 1 M Ethanoic acid +1M sodium ethanoate 4.76
1 M Ammonia 11.62 1 M Ammonia + 1 M Ammonium chloride 9.25

Point to the result.

Due to the presence of common ion

that is ethanoate ion, ionization of ethanoic acid decreases.


Hence pH value increases.


Similarly, due to the presence of ammonium ion, ionization of Ammonia decreases.

Hence pH value decreases.
