Using the following formula: pH = - log [H+], where [H+] is the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution measured in mol dm-3,

 

a) Calculate the pH of a solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of 2.3 x 10-12 mol dm-3. (You should show your answer to 3 significant figures)

 

b) What would be the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution with a pH of x?

 

Anybody knows how to solve this please?

I'll try.....

 

a.     pH  = -log (2.3 * 10^-12)  ≈  11.6

 

b.    x  =  - log H+    where H+ is the concentration....so......writing this in exponential terms, we have......

 

-x = log H+   →     10-x  =  H+

 

 

 

cool cool cool
