Chapter 14.4, Problem 14.10E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The more basic sample form sample having $\text{pH 5}\text{.5}$ or one with $\text{pOH of 8}\text{.5}$ has to be identified and also should calculate the $H_3{O}^{+}$ concentration in each solution.

Concept Introduction:

$\text{pOH}$ Definition:

The $\text{pOH}$ of a solution is defined as the negative base-10 logarithm of the hydroxide ion ${\text{[OH}}^{-}\text{]}$ concentration.

  $\text{pOH}\text{=}{\text{-log[OH}}^{-}\text{]}$

Relationship between $\text{pH }$ and $\text{pOH}$:

  $\text{pH + pOH = 14}$
