Chapter 14.6, Problem 14.53QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: “The $\left[H_3{O}^{+}\right]$ of blood plasma”should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

► $pH$ of a solution is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration of the aqueous solution.

Thus, $pH=-\log \left[H_3{O}^{+}\right]$

$\left[H_3{O}^{+}\right]={10}^{-pH}$

Given: The $pH$ of blood plasma is $6.92$
