Chapter 9, Problem 9.60QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

$\text{pH}$ in chemistry should be defined and reason for why do chemists usually choose $\text{pH}$ to discuss the acidity of a solutions alternative than hydrogen ion concentration should be explained.

Concept introduction:

$\text{pH}$:

The Negative log of base $\text{10}$ Hydrogen ion concentration is known as $\text{pH}\text{.}$

$\text{pH}\text{=}{\text{-log}}_{\text{10}}{\text{[H}}^{\text{+}}\text{]}$
