Chapter 16, Problem 15ALQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Final pH of a acid solution after mixing a solution of strong acid with a pH of and an equal volume of a strong acid solution with a pH of should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The [H⁺ ] in an aqueous solution is typically small, using the p scale in the form of pH scale provides a convenient way to represent solution’s acidity.

The pH is defined as

So .
