(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of hydronium ion and hydroxide ion of a solution with $\text{pH=}5.\text{50}$ have 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 hydronium ion and hydroxide ion of a solution with $\text{pH=}7.0$ have to be calculated.
