Is pH normally taken at equilibrium concentrations?

[Hannah Lee 2F]

If the question gives you a pH of a solution with a certain initial molarity, could you imply that the [H+] you calculate from it is its equilibrium [H+] concentration?

[Ami_Pant_4G]

I think yes, if it doesn't say anything like "the starting or initial pH was...", you can assume it is at equilibrium.

i think the problem will specify if the pH is at the initial or equilibrium state of the solution, because you could put that H+ concentration at either point when making your ICE table

[Indy Bui 1l]

Usually it should tell you if it isn't taken at equilibrium. This really isn't a big problem, just make sure you put the H+ concentration in the correct place in the ice tables.

[Queena Chu 3E]

If not given specifics, then it's safe to assume that it's at equilibrium.

[Katie Le 3K]

I think if not asked for it directly in the question, it's safe to assume its at equilibrium.

[Katie Phan 1K]

It usually is implied that it's at equilibrium.

If you do not see anything stating otherwise, it is safe to assume the system is at equilibrium.
