Question

The pH of a solution ranges from 0 to 14. An acid has a pH less than 7. Pure water is neutral and has a pH of 7. The pH of a solution is given by pH = -logx where x represents the concentration of the hydrogen ions in the solution in moles per liter. Find the pH if the hydrogen ion concentration is 1 x 10-1

Answer 1

this was in my precalculus class but i was told to ask it here in chemistry

Answer 2

All you have to do is plug in the given value for "x". The formula, in chemistry, is defined by \(pH = -log[H^+]\) where, \([H^+] = x \)

Therefore, your value given "x" represents hydrogen ion concentration.
