Chapter 9, Problem 9.123E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pH of the given solution is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The $\text{pH}$ value ranges from $0-14$. The substance that has $\text{pH}<7$ is considered as acidic whereas the substance that has $\text{pH}>\text{7}$ is considered as basic. The neutral $\text{pH}$ value is $7$. The weak acid and base do not completely dissociate in the solution. A general dissociation reaction of a weak acid is represented as,$\text{HA}\left(\text{aq}\right)\rightleftarrows {\text{H}}^{+}\left(\text{aq}\right)+{\text{A}}^{-}\left(\text{aq}\right)$
