Question
Chapter U4.84, Problem 2E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A pH scale needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The pH is the property of a solution which describes acidity or alkalinity of the solution.
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 2E
The pH scale is a scale used to specify acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
Explanation of Solution
At 298 K,
At a neutral condition,
Solutions with pH<7 are known as acidic and solutions with pH>7 are known as basic.
The solution with pH which equals to 7 will be neutral.
