Chapter 14, Problem 84E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

$\text{pH}$ of a $0.50M\text{NaOH}$ solution is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The $\text{pH}$ scale tells about the strength of an acid and a base. It measures the concentration of the hydrogen ions. There is an inverse relationship between the $\text{pH}$ value and the concentration of the hydrogen ion. Higher the concentration of hydrogen ions, lesser will be the value of $\text{pH}$.
