The case is acidic since calculated pH is below 7 that is 2.3
The hydroxide and hydrogen ion levels in a solution are the sources for calculating pOH and pH levels, respectively, and are the basis of whether a solution is acidic or basic
[H₃O+]=5.3×10⁻³M
To determine the hydroxide ion concentration, we use:
[OH−][H3O+]=1×10⁻¹⁴
We isolate the hydroxide ion concentration:
[OH−]=1×10−145.3×10⁻³M
Solving this, we obtain:
[OH−]=1.9×10−¹²M
We can determine whether the solution is acidic or basic by calculating the pH level:
pH=−log[H3O+]
We substitute in the hydronium ion concentration given:
pH=−Log(5.3×10−3)pH=2.3
Since the pH is below 7, the solution is acidic
