The flower color of bigleaf hydrangeas is determined by the soil's pH. A gardener growing blue hydrangeas believes that lime may be leaching out of a nearby sidewalk and increasing the pH of the soil. The gardener measures the hydrogen ion concentration and finds it to be 0.0000006 moles per liter. What is the pH and what color are his colors likely to be?

the blue- 5

the blue- 5<pH<5.5
the purple - 5.5<pH<6
the pink - 6<pH < 6.5

This seems to be more of a chemistry question.

anonymous · Answer

its math cos its a logarithm problem.

myininaya · Answer

How do you find the pH?

anonymous · Answer

i guess by using a calculator, and i got 6.22 so I think the flowers are pink,

myininaya · Answer

What relation does hydrogen ion concentration and pH have I wonder?

myininaya · Answer

Let me see if I can look it up.

anonymous · Answer

okay lol

myininaya · Answer

Yay! I got what you got I did
$$pH=\log(\frac{1}{6 \cdot 10^{-7}})$$

myininaya · Answer

the 6.22 approximately which is between 6 and 6.5 so you do have the color pink 
great job sammy
