Chapter 7, Problem 46E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : Mass of HNO₃ present in $250.0\text{ mL}$ of nitric acid solution having a $\text{pH = 5}\text{.10}$ should be calculated.

Concept Introduction :

The pH of the solution can be calculated as follows:

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

Here, $\left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]$ is hydrogen ion concentration.
