Chapter 15, Problem 97E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of $\text{pH}$ for a solution containing $6.5\times {10}^2\text{mg}$ aspirin in $8.0$ ounces of water is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The potential of ${\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ ions is called as $\text{pH}$ . The value of $\text{pH}$ is less than $7$ for acidic solutions and greater than $7$ for basic solutions. For neutral solution the value of $\text{pH}$ is $7$ .

To determine: The value of $\text{pH}$ for a solution containing $6.5\times {10}^2\text{mg}$ aspirin in $8.0$ ounces of water.
