Chapter 8, Problem 79P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

If an aqueous solution can have zero pH should be explained taking example of aqueous HCl.

Concept Introduction:

The pH of solution is negative log of hydrogen ion concentration in solution. It is mathematically represented as follows:

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

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