Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The pH of a solution prepared by dissolving
water at
Concept Information:
Strong acids:
In strong acids, the ionization of acid is complete. This implies that the concentration of the hydrogen ion or hydronium ion will be equal to the initial concentration of the acid at equilibrium.
pH definition:
The concentration of hydrogen ion is measured using
The
On rearranging, the concentration of hydrogen ion
To Estimate: The pH of a solution prepared by dissolving
acid in a litre of water at
