pH definition:
The concentration of hydrogen ion is measured using pH scale. The acidity of aqueous solution is expressed by pH scale.
The pH of a solution is defined as the negative base-10 logarithm of the hydrogen or hydronium ion concentration.

The concentration was high enough to eat through glass. When the CSI guys realized it was alkali (ie., a base) they knew they needed to neutralize it in order to retrieve the body so they sent one of their team to a local store for vinegar. They proceeded to pour vinegar from a couple of gallon jugs into the pool, dropping the pH from 14 to exactly 7.0 all within a few seconds, and without any stirring! The volume of swimming pool is 100,000L. Vinegar is approximately a 1.0 M of acetic acid, HC2H3O2, a monoprotic acid. A pH of 14 is equivalent to 1.0 M solution of sodium hydroxide,NaOH. Using your knowledge of chemistry, comment on whether or not the events described in the episode of CSI: Miami could take placearrow_forward
