Chapter 16, Problem 16.150MP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

ThepH of the solution needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The pH of the solution is calculated as negative log of hydrogen ion concentration. The formula is represented as follows:

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

Here, $\left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]$ is the concentration of hydrogen ion in the solution.
