Chapter 8, Problem 8.75QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The $\text{pH}$ of a solution whose hydroxide ion concentration is $\text{5}\text{.5}\text{×}{\text{10}}^{\text{-4}}\text{M}$ 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.

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