Chapter 17, Problem 17.77SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The buffer solution with $\text{pH}\text{=}\text{7}\text{.00}$ needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Buffer solution resists a change in pH when small amount of acid or alkali is added. pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity of water soluble substance or mathematically, pH is the negative logarithm of the molar hydrogen ion concentration.

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