dilution and pH and pOH
The question is: given a $10$ ml solution with pH = $12.3$, which is then diluted to a $100$ ml solution, find the pH of the new solution. My attempt was as follows:
[H$_3$O$^+$] = $10^{-12.3}$, and $...

When does "always add acid" not apply? [duplicate]
I've been taught a LONG time ago to AAA "Always Add Acid". I've recently come across what feels like an exception to that rule when making piranha solution (you add the H2O2 to the acid). I'...

Equilibrium Solubility of CO2 in Aqueous Solution and its Dependence on H3O+ Concentration
The equilibrium solubility of $\ce{CO2}$ in an aqueous solution is given by three chemical reactions:
$$
\begin{align}
\ce{CO2(g) &<=> CO2(aq)}\label{rxn:R1}\tag{R1}\\
\ce{CO2(aq) + H2O &...

Successive deprotonation - how far can it go?
It has been written that among the equilibria of the dissolution of $\ce{SO_2}$ in water, the dissociation of sulphur dioxide into $\ce{HSO_3^-(aq) + H_3O^+(aq)}$ is a complete dissociation. See the ...

What is ionic reaction equation for reaction between carbon dioxide and limewater?
Write the ionic reaction equation for the reaction
\[\ce{Ca(OH)2(aq) + CO2(g) <=> CaCO3(s) + H2O(l)}.\]
I first wrote the complete ionic equation as such:
\[\ce{Ca^2+ + 2 OH^- + CO2 <=> ...

What's the pH of a solution knowing only pKa, mass and volume? (no molecular mass known)
Is it possible to calculate the pH of a given solution knowing only the pKa (but not the structure of the acid, i. e. its molecular mass), its mass and the volume of the solution? E. g. What is the pH ...

When NaOH ionizes in water, does the OH– react with the water molecules or with the hydronium ions from the dissociation of water?
NaOH in water becomes $\ce{Na+}$ and $\ce{OH-}$ ions. If it's a Bronsted Lowry base then the $\ce{OH-}$ ions will take $\ce{H+}$. But FROM where exactly - from the water molecules or from the ...
