Chapter 16.3, Problem 1PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The $\text{pH}$ of the given Nitric acid solution has to be calculated.

Concept Information:

$\text{pH}$: 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.

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