Chapter 15, Problem 18E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentrations of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{+}$ and ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ for each of the given solutions is to be calculated.

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

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

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

The concentrations of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{+}$ and ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ for the given solution is calculated by the formula,

$\left[{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{+}\right]\left[{\text{OH}}^{-}\right]=1.0\times {10}^{-14}$

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