Chapter 17, Problem 11PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

$\text{pH}$ of a solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of $3\times {10}^{-5}\text{M}$ is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The $\text{pH}$ scale tells about the strength of an acid and a base. It measures the concentration of the hydrogen ions. There is an inverse relation between the $\text{pH}$ value and the concentration of the hydrogen ion. Higher the concentration of hydrogen ions, lesser the value of $\text{pH}$.
