Chapter 16, Problem 16.41QP
A solution of acetic acid, HC2H3O2, on a laboratory shelf was of undetermined concentration. If the pH of the solution was found to be 2.57, what was the concentration of the acetic acid? The Ka of acetic acid is 1.7 × 10−5.

Chemistry
The label of an energy drink states that it contains approximately 80 mg of caffeine (C8H10N4O2) per 250 mL serving. If the caffeine is a weak base with a basicity constant of 2.5 × × 10-4, what is the pH of the drink? (Only caffeine is considered to contribute to the pH of the drink.)
The acidity of a solution is measured by its pH.
If Ht represents the concentration of hydrogen ions (in moles/liter) in the solution,
the pH is defined by pH = – log H+
Based on careful measurements and calculations, a chemist examines two solutions and asserts:
"The hydrogen ion concentration of Solution A
is 158 times greater than
the hydrogen ion concentration of Solution B."
If the pH of solution B is 3.4, determine the pH of Solution A.
Report your answer to one decimal place.
Solution A has pH equal to
Number
