how many H+ ions are in a solution with a pH of 2 and how many H+ ions are in a solution with a pH of 6?

Respuesta :

Answer:

i) pH = 2

pH = -log(H+)

:- (H+) = 10^(-2)

:- (H+) = 0.01 M

ii) pH = 6

pH = -log(H+)

:- (H+) = 10^(-6)

:- (H+) = 0.000001 M

Explanation:

By definition: pH = -log(H+).

Given your pH, solve for the H+ using the the following log rule:

if a = (+/-) log (b) then

b = 10^((+/-) a).

Also remember unit of concentration is molar (M)
