Question
Chapter 18.7, Problem 18.10BFP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Given the value of
Concept introduction: pH is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration and it gives the nature of the solution. Base dissociation constant gives the ratio of the concentration of the products to that of the reactants. The pH scale will range from 1-14. pH is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration. If pH is greater than 7, then the solution is basic, less than 7 then the solution is acidic and if it is equal to 7 the solution will be neutral. pH and pOH are related by the equation:
pH + pOH =14
