Programming Problem

Chemists, biologists, and biochemists, are often interested in calculating the pH level of a given solution. A solution with a pH level less then 7 is acidic; otherwise, it is basic. Determining the pH of a solution is important, since many organisms and micro-organisms can only live in a limited pH range.

• Write a C++ program that calculates and prints the pH level, and states whether the solution is acidic or basic.
• The input is concentration of hydroxide ions, denoted , and is a real number.
• The concentration of hydronium ions, abbreviated , is calculated by the formula
  
  
  
• The pH level can then be computed with
  
  
  
  
• For example, if the input solution is 0.002, your program should print something like this:

  The pH level of solution 0.002 is 11.30103. The solution is basic.
  

• Use proper loop structure, meaningful variable names, proper indentation, and appropriate comments.
• Use the format and style described in the assignment guidelines.
• Here is the input data consisting of seven given solutions:

  0.002
  0.0009
  0.00004
  0.000005
  0.0000003
  0.00000007
  0.000000007
  

• Show your lab instructor your program works.
