Chapter 3, Problem 3.39P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Calculate the volume of sulfuric acid which should be added to return the pool to the desired pH.

Concept introduction:

In order to change the pH, sulfuric acid is needed to add to the pool. The amount of acid can be calculated by calculating the concentration difference, to calculate the concentration corresponding each pH, we can use the following equation.

The pH is defined as,

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

Where, H+ is the hydrogen concentration in moles per liter.
