Please help me with these two. I have no idea. multiple choice!
1) the equal concentrations of H+ and OH- ions only occurs once, in neutral water. 2) if pH = -log(H+), then pOH = -log(OH-). Plug and solve
so it would be 7 for #1
yes neutral is around pH 7 :D
what does -log stand for?
the logarithm function, on a calculator
negative logaritm?
it would be 1 x 10-2 (-log) ?
you need to know how your own calculator functions. the answer you get will depend on how your calculator interprets what you punch in. on mine, i type:\[-\log(1*10^{-2})\]
I get error
its 2 right?
first type - then press the log button probably this will appear -log( then you type 1*10^-2 and then enter you can also type 10E-2
the correct answer is 2, but you still need to know how your calculator functions
wow there is 1 zero too much in last post :P its 1E-2 not 10E-2 xD
thanks both ! @thomaster & @JFraser
