Interpretation : The expression for the pH of a solution is to be determined.
Concept Introduction : The negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions is the pH of a solution. The values from 0 to 14 are the range of a pH scale.
Answer to Problem 61A
The pH of a solution is calculated by the following formula:
Explanation of Solution
Acidic solutions have pH values below 7.0.
A pH of 7.0 indicates a neutral solution.
ph greater than 7.0 designates a basic solution.
The formula to calculate pH is given as
Here,
The pH is less than 7.0 if the hydrogen ion concentration is larger than
The pH is greater than 7.0 if the concentration of hydroxide is less than
