INTRODUCTION
pH stands for the power of the hydrogen. It provides information on the degree of
acidity ,degree of basicity, or neutrality. Mathematically it is the negative logarithm of
the hydrogen ion concentration,
pH = -log [H+]
From this equation we can determine the H + from the antilogarithm of the
negative pH.
OBJECTIVES
1. Simulation 1: To observe how the pH vary as the substance use in the simulation
vary.
2. Simulation 2: To observe how the pH vary as the concentration of the [H 3O+] and
[OH-] vary.
3. Simulation 3: To observe how the pH vary as the molecules count of the H 3O+
and OH- vary.
PROCEDURE
1. Your instructor will send you the link to the Class Group Chat on the
scheduled date for the activity. You may chose the gadget that you would
want for this purpose.
2. Though you are free to communicate with your instructor through Facebook-
Messenger for further elaboration or clarification on the date and time to be
scheduled by your mentor, you may also refer to any General Chemistry
books for enhancement.
3. Answer the Questions that are related to the simulations that you have just
manipulated and the Application Problems that follow.
