Chapter 16, Problem 16.110QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The rainwater $pH$ range has to be calculated

Concept Information:

Equilibrium pressure: When the reactants and products are gases, we can determine the equilibrium constants in terms of partial pressure.

pH definition:

The concentration of hydrogen ion is measured by using $\text{pH}$ scale.  The acidity of aqueous solution is expressed by $\text{pH}$ scale.  The $\text{pH}$ scale range is normally from 0 to 14.

The $\text{pH}$ of a solution is defined as the negative base-10 logarithm of the hydrogen or hydronium ion concentration.

  $\text{pH}\text{=}{\text{-log[H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}\text{]}$
