Chapter 7, Problem 132AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The pH of the 0.20 M chlorobenzoic acid solution needs to be determined

Concept Introduction: From the given pH value, hydrogen ion concentration can be calculated as follows:

  $\left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]={10}^{-pH}$

From hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide ion concentration can be calculated as follows:

  $\left[{\text{OH}}^{-}\right]=\frac{K_w}{\left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]}$
