The original pH of the gastric juice sample is 3.43
pH serves as a measure to calculate the acidity/alkalinity of a solution. It's ranges is between 0 - 14, with 7 being neutral. A pH below 7 indicates acidity and a pH above 7 indicates basicity. pH is actually a measure of the relative amounts of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in water.
As we know:
M₁V₁ = M₂V₂
For the given question:
M₁ = Concentration of gastric juice
V₁ = Volume of gastric juice (20 ml)
M₂ = Concentration of NaOH (0.0011 M)
V₂ = Volume of NaOH (6.7 ml)
So, M₁ = M₂V₂ / V₁
M₁ = 0.0011 × 6.7/20
M₁ = 0.000365
For pH:
pH = -log [H⁺]
pH = -log [0.000365]
pH = 3.43
