Chapter 8, Problem 8.92P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

If the value of pH of 1.0 m ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{COOH}$ solution and a 1.0 m HCl solution is same or not should be determined and explained.

Concept Introduction:

The acidity of a solution can be determined by the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution or pH of the solution.

More the concentration of hydrogen ion, more will be the acidity. The pH of solution can be calculated as follows:

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

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