Chapter 16, Problem 14RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Sum of $\text{pH}$ and $\text{pOH}$ for each solution has to be determined. Also, value of $\text{pOH}$ of solution that has $\text{pH}$ $-1$ value has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

$\text{pH}$ is a scale used to specify how acidic or basic of an aqueous solution.

Formula to calculate $\text{pH}$ of an aqueous solution is as follows

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

Formula to calculate $\text{pOH}$ of an aqueous solution is as follows:

  $\text{pOH}=-\log \left[{\text{OH}}^{\text{-}}\right]$

Relation between $\text{pH}$ and $\text{pOH}$ at $25°\text{C}$ is as follows:

  $\text{pH}+\text{pOH}=14$
