Question
Chapter 16, Problem 6RQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The levelling effect of water is to be explained.
Concept Information:
The effect of a solvent upon the properties of bases and acids is known as levelling effect.
Through the basicity of the solvent, the strength of a strong acid is levelled. Similarly, by the solvent’s acidity, the strength of a strong base is limited.
