Chapter 13, Problem 61QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The difference in the $\text{pH}$ values of two solutions, if one of the solutions has ${\text{H}}_3{\text{O}}^{+}$ concentration $10$ units greater than that in another solution is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The $\text{pH}$ value of a substance or solution helps in determining the acidic or basic character of that substance or solution.

The $\text{pH}$ less than $7$ implies that the given sample is an acidic sample.

The $\text{pH}$ greater than $7$ implies that the given sample is a basic sample.

The neutral sample has $7$ $\text{pH}$ value.
