11. Justify your answers to the following questions. (8 pts)
(A) Why is the pH of an aqueous NaHCO3 solution independent of its concentration?

(B) Is the pH of a strong acid solution always lower than the pH of a weak acid solution?
NO, acid strength has nothing to do with pH. it is related to concentration. A weak acid of the same
concentration as a strong acid will always have a higher pH because it is more basic and less
acidic.
