Chapter 7, Problem 61E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pH of a solution containing $0.10\text{ M HCl and 0}\text{.10 M HOCl}$ 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.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pH of a solution containing $0.050{\text{ M HNO}}_3\text{ and 0}{\text{.50 M HC}}_2{\text{H}}_3{\text{O}}_2$ 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.
