Calculating pH of a solution

Today we combined the ideas of Ka (or Kb) with pH (or pOH) to predict the pH of an aqueous solution of acid or base. These are the same type of equilibrium problems we've been working with for the last couple weeks, they're just applied to a specific chemical situation. We can often simplify these problems by making some assumptions about the size of "x" compared to the initial or final concentrations.

There is a new Mastering Chemistry assignment posted, due Friday.

The MSUM women's basketball team is starting out the playoffs as the 3rd seed at home this Wednesday at 6pm against St. Cloud State.
