Chapter 8, Problem 8.4P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The $\text{pH}$ of blood whose hydronium ion concentration is $\text{0}\text{.035μM}$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

pH: The $\text{pH}$ of a solution is defined as the negative logarithm of the molar concentration of the hydronium ion.

    $\text{pH}\text{=}\text{-log}{\text{[H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}\text{]}$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of hydroxide ion in blood has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).
