Solution Steps

To determine the initial pH of the solution, we need to follow a series of steps. Let's assume we are dealing with a simple monoprotic acid, HA, in solution.

Step 1: Determine Initial Concentration of \(\mathrm{H}_3\mathrm{O}^+\)

The initial concentration of \(\mathrm{H}_3\mathrm{O}^+\) is equal to the concentration of the acid, \([\mathrm{HA}]\), because the acid dissociates to produce \(\mathrm{H}_3\mathrm{O}^+\).

Step 2: Calculate \([\mathrm{H}_3\mathrm{O}^+]\)

Assuming complete dissociation of the acid, \([\mathrm{H}_3\mathrm{O}^+]\) is equal to the initial concentration of the acid, \([\mathrm{HA}]\).

Step 3: Calculate Initial pH

The pH is calculated using the formula: \[ \mathrm{pH} = -\log \left([\mathrm{H}_3\mathrm{O}^+]\right) \] Substitute the concentration of \(\mathrm{H}_3\mathrm{O}^+\) into the formula to find the pH.

Final Answer

The initial pH of the solution is \(\boxed{\mathrm{pH} = -\log \left([\mathrm{HA}]\right)}\).
