FoundationWhich substance is classified as a strong acid in water?
Need a small nudge?

A strong acid ionizes essentially completely under ordinary dilute aqueous conditions.

UnderstandingWhat is the pH of neutral pure water at 25 °C?
Need a small nudge?

Neutrality means equal hydronium and hydroxide activities at the stated temperature.

ApplicationUnder the Brønsted–Lowry model, what does a base do?
Need a small nudge?

Focus on transfer of H⁺.

InterpretationWhich net ionic equation represents neutralization of hydronium by hydroxide?
Need a small nudge?

The spectator ions should be absent.

ConnectionA solution changes from pH 3.0 to pH 5.0. How does its hydronium-ion activity change?
Need a small nudge?

Each pH unit represents a tenfold inverse change.
