Question

The label for a bottle of professional shampoo reads: “Acid balanced conditioning shampoo, pH 5.”

a. What is the hydronium ion concentration of the shampoo.
b. How is it that the claim the pH of the shampoo is 5 related to the fact the shampoo
is acid balanced? Explain.

Answer 1

pH = 5; (H3O^+) = 1E-5M
I assume the "acid balanced" means it is buffered at pH = 5.
