Chapter 15, Problem 15.4P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{+}$ for a given solution is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The $\text{pH}$ value determines the solution is acidic, basic and neutral in nature.

If the $\text{pH}$ value of a solution is more than $7$ it is basic in nature and if the $\text{pH}$ value of a solution is less than $7$ it is acidic in nature.

The $\text{pH}$ value of the given solution is calculated by the formula,

$\text{pH}=-\log \left[{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{+}\right]$

To determine: The concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{+}$ for a given solution.
