wait... so diluting an acid decreases the pH? :/ or does it only apply to how "strong" and "weak" the acid is?

Diluting an acid INCREASES the pH, meaning makes it more basic. This is because its concentration decreases and so it becomes a weaker acid and so its ph changes.. hope u got me.. :P

hahaha, ohhh okayy. lol i always thought the pH was only related to how many H+ ions are dissociated, :P XD teheeee; anyways, thanks ;D

Guys, I'm stressed for Chem P1. Any quick notes? :) Oh and here's an MCQ question:

How are you studying for Chemistry P1?
A. Learning the text book (lol, crazy!)
B. Reading your class notes (takes ages!)
C. Solving question papers (pain in the A**!)
D. Just SFing (fun!)

My take is obviously option D. :P

queeeeestion.

O/N 03 Chem P1 ; Q9 !

The diagrams show the bonding in three covalent molecules.
1) O-O
2) O-O < DOUBLE BOND
3) O-O < TRIPLE BOND

WHich of these molecules combine to form ammonia?

A) 1 and 2
B) 1 and 3
C) 2 and 3
D) 1,2 and 3

..explanation? D:

..explanation? D:

Its easy.. see ammonia is NH3 and before N and H react, N exists as N---N(triple bond) AND H exists as H-H(single bond) so its 1 and 3!!! :P

Cause its found like tht right? N2 is N---N as each N atom has 5 outer-most electrons... so in a molecule its a triple bond... :)

jellybeans: Nitrogen atom has 5 electrons in outermost orbit. In order to achieve noble gas status, it requires 3 more electrons. These 3 will come from where? Covalent bonds with other Nitrogen atoms. Thus, Nitrogen is triple-bonded. :)

Am I right, guys? Just gave it a try.

O/N 2003 CHEM P1 , Q36!
Which compound is unsaturated and forms a neutral solution in water?

A) CH2OH-CH--CH-CH2OH
B) CH2OH-CH2-CH2-CH2OH
C) CO2H-CH--CH-CO2H
D) CO2H-CH2-CH2-CO2H

i get the unsaturated bit.. but how do you know if it's neutral or not?
doesnt the 'OH' group make it ... acidic? :B hehs, explanation neeeeeded svp, (X
 :P
