Chapter 13, Problem 159AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The nature of the given aqueous solution of ${\text{NaHSO}}_4$; its reaction with water and the $\text{pH}$ value of $0.10\text{M}$ solution of ${\text{NaHSO}}_4$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Weak acids dissociate up to a small extent and furnish limited number of protons in an aqueous solution. Major species present in a given solution determine the $\text{pH}$ of the solution.

To determine: The nature of the given aqueous solution of ${\text{NaHSO}}_4$ its reaction with water and the $\text{pH}$ value of solution of $0.10\text{M}$${\text{NaHSO}}_4$
