Question
You are supplied with five solutions: A, B, C, D and E with pH values as follows: A = 1.8, B = 7, C = 8.5, D = 13, and E = 5
Classify these solutions as neutral, slightly or strongly acidic and slightly or strongly alkaline.
Which solution would be most likely to liberate hydrogen with magnesium powder. Give a word equation for each reaction.
Solution
A = Strongly acidic
B = neutral
C = Slightly alkaline
D = Strongly alkaline
E = Slightly acidic
Solution (A) with magnesium powder would liberate hydrogen.
