Medical saline, or saline solution, is used intravenously for many if not most patients admitted to hospitals or who undergo procedures at hospitals. This solution is 0.9 % by mass NaCl. Curiously it does not have a pH of 7.00, as one would expect based on our understanding of acid base phenomena. Using your understanding of Acid-Base, equilibrium, and your soon to be acquired understanding of solubility, please explain, using all appropriate equations, ICE tables etc. the following, explain:

What is the pH of 0.9% saline solution and why is it not 7.00?
