Chapter 13, Problem 41QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given acids should be arranged in increasing order of the pH values.

Concept introduction:

The molarity of the solution is defined as number of moles of solution in 1 L of the solution. It is mathematically represented as follows:

$M=\frac{n}{V\left(L\right)}$

Here, n is number of moles of solute and V is volume of solution in L.

The pH of solution is defined as negative log of hydrogen ion concentration. It is mathematically represented as follows:

$\text{pH}=-\log \left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]$

Thus, hydrogen ion concentration can be calculated as follows:

$\left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]={10}^{-\text{pH}}$
