Chapter 18.2, Problem 18.3BFP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The $\text{pOH}$ value of the muriatic acid solution is to be calculated. Also, the concentration of $\left[{\text{H}}_3{\text{O}}^{+}\right]$ is to be calculated. Also, the concentration of $\left[{\text{OH}}^{-}\right]$ is to be calculated

Concept introduction:

The strong acids have lower $\text{pH}$ value but they have a higher concentration of $\left[{\text{H}}_3{\text{O}}^{+}\right]$.

The strong bases have lower $\text{pOH}$ value but they have a higher concentration of $\left[{\text{OH}}^{-}\right]$.

The expression to calculate the $\left[{\text{OH}}^{-}\right]$ is given as follows,

${\text{[OH}}^{-}]={10}^{-\text{pOH}}$

The expression to calculate the ${\text{[H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{+}]$ is given as follows,

${\text{[H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{+}]={10}^{-\text{pH}}$

The expression to calculate pH is given as follows,

$\text{pH + pOH}=14$
