The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will evaluate each statement one by one based on our understanding of the properties of water and pH. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding pH and Temperature**: - The pH of water is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) in the solution. The relationship between pH and temperature is important because the ionization of water is temperature-dependent. - At 25°C, the pH of pure water is approximately 7. At 4°C, the pH is slightly higher than 7. **Hint**: Recall that pH is defined as -log[H⁺], and the concentration of H⁺ ions changes with temperature. 2. **Evaluating Statement 1**: - **Statement 1**: "pH of water at 25°C is less than the pH at 4°C." - As temperature increases, the ionization of water increases, leading to a higher concentration of H⁺ ions. Therefore, the pH decreases. - Since the pH at 25°C is lower than at 4°C, this statement is **true**. **Hint**: Remember that a lower pH indicates a higher concentration of H⁺ ions. 3. **Evaluating Statement 2**: - **Statement 2**: "Water is more acidic at 25°C than at 4°C." - Acidity is determined by the concentration of H⁺ ions. Since water is neutral at both temperatures (pH = 7), it cannot be more acidic at one temperature compared to the other. - Therefore, this statement is **false**. **Hint**: Consider the definition of acidity and how it relates to pH values. 4. **Evaluating Statement 3**: - **Statement 3**: "Water is neutral at all temperatures." - Water remains neutral as long as the concentration of H⁺ ions equals the concentration of OH⁻ ions. This is true for pure water at all temperatures. - Therefore, this statement is **true**. **Hint**: Neutrality in water means equal concentrations of H⁺ and OH⁻ ions. ### Conclusion: - **Statement 1**: True - **Statement 2**: False - **Statement 3**: True Thus, the correct evaluation of the statements is that Statement 1 and Statement 3 are true, while Statement 2 is false. ### Final Answer: - **Option**: Statement 1 and Statement 3 are true; Statement 2 is false.
