Chapter 18, Problem 96AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pH of a 0.050 M Al(NO₃)₃ solution needs to be deduced given Ka for ${{\text{[Al(H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O)}}_{\text{6}}\text{]}}^{\text{3+}}$ is 1.4x10^-5.

Concept Introduction:

The pH of a solution is the measure of the hydronium ion concentration which in turn reflects the acidity of the solution.

  $\text{pH =}-\log {\text{[H}}^{\text{+}}\text{] ------(1)}$
