Question

Will no3− ions affect the ph of a solution? will ions affect the ph of a solution? no3− ions will not affect the ph. no3− ions will decrease the ph. no3− ions will increase the ph.

Answer 1

NO3- will affect the pH of a solution. The ion will decrease the pH of a neutral solution. No3- ion is a conjugate base of a strong acid, therefore, if it added to a neutral solution of pH 7, it will change the pH of the solution by decreasing the pH, that is, the solution will become acidic in nature.
