Chapter 16, Problem 16.142QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pH of 250 mL of an aqueous solution containing 0.616 g of a strong acid has to be calculated.

Concept Information:

$\text{pH}$ definition:

The concentration of hydrogen ion is measured using $\text{pH}$ scale.  The acidity of aqueous solution is expressed by $\text{pH}$ scale.

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

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

To Calculate: The pH of 250 mL of an aqueous solution containing 0.616 g of a strong acid
