Chapter 9, Problem 9.1P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason why Water doesn’t produce ${\text{10}}^{\text{-7}}\text{M}{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ and ${\text{10}}^{\text{-7}}\text{M}{\text{OH}}^{\text{-}}$ upon the addition of $\text{HBr}$ has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Common Ion effect:

The change in an ionic equilibrium that is caused by the addition of solute which provides an ion that takes part in the equilibrium is called as common ion effect.

To explain reason why Water doesn’t produce ${\text{10}}^{\text{-7}}\text{M}{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ and ${\text{10}}^{\text{-7}}\text{M}{\text{OH}}^{\text{-}}$ upon the addition of $\text{HBr}$
