what is the hydronium ion concentration of solution that has ph of 8.57?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please teach me how to get the answer.

sam (.sam.):

Just use \[pH=-\log_{10}[H^+]\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

H+ stands for what?

sam (.sam.):

The concentration of hydronium

sam (.sam.):

Are you good at logarithms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 2.7 x 10*-1 but how can i do it myself?

sam (.sam.):

There's a property \[\LARGE \log_ab=c \Leftarrow \Rightarrow b=a^c\] ---------------------------------- \[pH=-\log_{10}[H^+] \\ \\ -pH=\log_{10}[H^+]\] Then use that property, \[\large [H^+]=10^{-pH}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -log (10-8.57)

sam (.sam.):

No, from here, \[\large [H^+]=10^{-pH} \\ \\ \large [H^+]=10^{-(8.57)} \\ \\ \large [H^+]=2.69 \times 10^{-9} mol dm^{-3}\]

now i got the answer right, Thank you for helping me :)

sam (.sam.):

yw :)
