Chapter 7, Problem 35E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : The $\text{pH, }\left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right],\text{ and }\left[{\text{OH}}^{-}\right]$ for the baking soda sample should be calculated.

Concept Introduction :

The pH of the solution can be calculated as follows:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{pH = }-\log \left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]\\ \text{pOH = }-\log \left[{\text{OH}}^{-}\right]\\ \text{pH + pOH = 14}\end{array}$
