Chapter 2, Problem 8MC

Summary Introduction

Introduction:

A substance which can “dissociate into one or more ${\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ (hydrogen ions)” is called an acid, while molecule that “binds with hydrogen ion” after “dissolving in the water” is called a base. $\text{pH}$ scale is a logarithm that is used to measure the concentration of ${\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ ions in a solution. Basic solutions contain $\text{pH}$ values higher than $\text{7}$, while acidic solutions contain $\text{pH}$ value lower than $\text{7}$.
