Determine the pH of a solution at
Interpretation:
The pH of the solution for each of the given concentrations of hydroxide ions is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
pH is a measure of the acidity of a solution, which depends on the concentration of hydronium ions and the temperature of the solution.

Answer to three significant figures.arrow_forwardBaseline Question: Calculate the pH of a 5.6x10-9M HCl aqueous solution. ANS: pH=6.99 Commentary: Since I know HCl is a strong acid and ionization is 100%, I thought I could find pH as -log(5.6x10-9), however my teacher said that was incorrect . She did a Kw=[OH-][H3O+] to find x. Use image below to see my work. The answer to the question is pH= 6.99. Actual Question:I want to know why we had to do an ICE table and find "x" (another H3O concentration) instead of -log(5.6x10-9).arrow_forward
