Chapter 16.4, Problem 16.7.2PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:
The concentration of ${\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ ions in the solution is to be determined.

Concept introduction:
The pH is defined as the negative logarithm of concentration of ${\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ ions. The pOH is defined as the negative logarithm of concentration of ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions
The pH and pOH of solution is related to each other. The formula relating these two quantities is,

$\text{14}=\text{pH}+\text{pOH}$
