Chapter 15.7, Problem 15.6E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Form the given information, is the solution is acidic, neutral, or basic has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The value for the hydronium ion in acidic, neutral or basic solution is given as follows.  From which we can easily identify the given solution is acidic , neutral, or basic.

In an acidic solution, $\left[{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}\right]\text{ > 1}\text{.00}\times {\text{10}}^{\text{–7}}\text{M}$

In neutral solution, $\left[{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}\right]\text{ = 1}\text{.00}\times {\text{10}}^{\text{–7}}\text{M}$

In a basic solution, $\left[{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}\right]\text{ < 1}{\text{.00×10}}^{\text{–7}}\text{M}$
