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 \(\boxed{\mathrm{pH} = -\log \left([\mathrm{HA}]\right)}\).

A customer is upset because she believed if she bought two products, she'd get two free. You explain the sale is actually buy two, get one free. She argues that's not what the sign said. 1) Which statement is MOST like how you would respond? Select a statement Apologize for the confusion, but explain the sale again. Ask if she would like to put the fourth one back, since that one is not free. Tell her you're sorry and explain that a lot of people misread the sign. Reiterate that the sign does in fact say "buy two, get one free." Because the customer is getting upset, tell her you will talk to your supervisor to see if there's anything you can do. Walk with her to one of the sale signs so she can see it does say "buy two, get one free." Apologize that the sign was confusing.
