Chapter 17, Problem 8PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For a solution of $\text{0}\text{.001}\text{M}$, the values of $\text{pH}$, $\text{pOH}$, $\left[{\text{OH}}^{-}\right]$, and $\left[{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}\right]$ are to be calculated.

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 $\text{pH}$. There is an inverse relation between the $\text{pOH}$ value and the concentration of the hydroxide ion. Higher the concentration of hydroxide ions, lesser the value of $\text{pOH}$.
