Chapter 16, Problem 7ALQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pH of level of a solution should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The $\text{pH}$ of a solution shows the acidity or the basicity of a solution. If the value of $\text{pH}$ is low, the solution is said to be acidic and vice versa. $\text{pH}$ of a solution is calculated by using the following equation;

$\text{pH}=-{\text{log}}_{10}[{\text{H}}^{+}(aq)]$

Usually $\text{pH}$ measurements are taken at ${25}^0\text{C}$ and a $\text{pH}$ value which is less than $7$ is considered as acidic, $\text{pH}$ value greater than $7$ is considered as basic and $\text{pH}7$ is considered as neutral.
