The quantity pH stands for the negative logarithm of the H⁺ ions concentration in a solution. In equation form, pH = -log[H⁺], where [H⁺] is the concentration of hydrogen ion in molarity or moles/liter. Using this definition, the pH of the following substances are:
Oven Cleaner: pH =-log(10⁻¹³ M) = 13 Water: pH = -log(<span>0.0000007 M) = 6.15 Blood: pH = -log(</span><span>0.00000004 M) = 7.40 Vinegar: pH = -log(</span><span> 0.0063 M) = 2.2
The measure of the pH is important when it comes to reactions because pH is a strong factor. The net charge of a substance is a result of its pH. This charge is the basis of the degree of intermolecular forces like electrostatic attraction due to difference of charges by the substance and its substrate.</span>
So we have the formula moles = grams/MM, where MM is molar mass. The molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol. That means that 55/58.44 is the number of moles which appears to be 0.94 moles.
