Chapter 13, Problem 60E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The concentration of the given aqueous solution of $\text{HBr}$ that has a $\text{pH}$ value of $4.25$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The $\text{pH}$ of a solution is define as a figure that expresses the acidity of the alkalinity of a given solution. A logarithmic scale is used on which, the value $7$ corresponds to a neutral species, a value less than $7$ corresponds to an acid and a value greater than $7$ corresponds to a base.

The $\text{pH}$ of a solution is calculated by the formula, $\text{pH}=-\log \left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]$
