Chapter 16, Problem 27PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For a solution of $1.0M\text{ NaOH}$ concentration of hydrogen ion, hydroxide ion, $\text{pH}$ and $\text{pOH}$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The concentration of ${\text{H}}^{+}$ decides the acidity in solution and concentration of ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ decides the basicity in solution.

$\text{pH}$ is defined as concentration of hydrogen ion. It also explains about the acidity of solution.

$\text{pOH}$ is defined as the concentration of hydroxide ion. It also explains about the basicity of solution.
