what is the ph of sodium chloride

Blackburn · Answer 2

It stays the same.

Explanation:

As seen in the question above, you are manipulating a solution that has pH 8, that is, this is a basic solution. However, you decide to add sodium chloride at a concentration of 1 gram per 100 milliliters. Sodium chloride has ph7, which means that it is a neutral substance, that is, it is not a basic or acidic molecule.

Because of its neutral character and concentration, sodium chloride will not change the pH of the solution where it was added. As a result, the solution will remain at pH 8.
