Chapter 1, Problem 14P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The $\text{pH}$ of the diluted solution is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The $\text{pH}$ of the solution can be defined as the negative logarithm of concentration of hydrogen ion present.

It can be expressed as,

$\text{pH}=-\text{log}\left[{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}\right]$ ...... (1)

Where,

• $\left[{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}\right]$ is the concentration of hydrogen ion.
