The acidity of a solution is measured by its pH. If H+ represents the concentration of hydrogen ions (in moles/liter) in the solution, the pH is defined by pH [+H]: - log [H*] Based on careful measurements and calculations, a chemist examines two solutions and asserts: "The hydrogen ion concentration of Solution A is 158 times greater than the hydrogen ion concentration of Solution B." If the pH of solution B is 3.4, determine the pH of Solution A. Report your answer to one decimal place. Solution A has pH equal to Number - (Report to the nearest 0.1)

Hydrogen, H2S, and sodium acetate, NaCH3CO2 are mixed in water. Using Table 16.2, write a balanced equation for the acid-base reaction that could in principle, occur. Does the equilibrium lie toward the products or the reactants?
Most naturally occurring acids are weak acids. Lactic acid is one example. CH3CH(OH)CO2H(s)+H2O(l)H3O+(aq)+CH3CH(OH)CO2(aq) If you place some lactic acid in water, it will ionize to a small extent, and an equilibrium will be established. Suggest some experiments to prow that this is a weak acid and that the establishment of equilibrium is a reversible process.
