Chapter 13, Problem 72E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: A solution prepared by mixing the given amount of ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{COOH}$ and $\text{HCl}$ is given. The $\text{pH}$ and the acetate ion concentration of this solution 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.

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

The number of moles of a solute is calculated by the formula,

$\text{Moles}\text{of}\text{solute}=\text{Volume}\left(\text{L}\right)\times \text{Molarity}$

To determine: The $\text{pH}$ of the given solution.
