Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The [H+] concentration of a solution with pH = 9 needs to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
The acidity of a solution is expressed in terms of its pH which is essentially the measure of the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration of that solution. Mathematically,
If the pH is below 7 the solution is termed as acidic, if greater than 7 the solution is basic. A neutral solution will have a pH = 7.
(a)
Answer to Problem 6E
Explanation of Solution
The pH of the solution is given as follows:
pH = 9
The hydrogen ion concentration can be calculated as follows:
(b)
Interpretation:
The [H+] concentration of a solution with pH = 7.3 needs to be calculated.
