Chapter 24, Problem 24.69E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the initial $\text{pH}$ when the reaction began was acidic, basic or neutral is to be predicted. The reason as to how the value of $\text{pH}$ over the reaction changes is to be predicted. The reason as to why the $\text{pH}$ quits changing is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The concentration of hydrogen ion is calculated by the value of $\text{pH}$ of the solution. The change in the concentration of hydrogen ion is calculated by the difference between the initial and final concentration of hydrogen ions present in the solution.
