Chapter 15, Problem 15.26QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given solutions which solution would expect to have the higher pH has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

pH is an logarithmic expression to express a solution is acidic, basic or neutral.  pH scale lies values between 1-14 and on which 7 is neutral, below 7 values are more acidic in nature and above 7 values are more basic in nature.

The pH is equal to pH = -log10c

Where, c is hydrogen ion concentration in moles per liter.
