Please help <3

Here, isn't log representative of log (base) 10?

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

yes it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, we have everything we need to calculate the pH then.Simply substitute [H+] with 5.4x10^(-14) and calculate the log of that value. Then, we negate the sign of that resulting value.

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

is it -14.7 ?

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

@RBauer4 ;c

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

@shamil98 do you know this ?

OpenStudy (shamil98):

pH = –log[H+] pH = -log(5.4x10^(-14)) he pretty much explained it for you

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

I'm not getting any of the answers in my choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry for the delayed response. How are you entering in your numbers into the calculator?

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

I'm entering it into wolfa ; just like this = -log(5.4x10^(-14))

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

but kept getting 30.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wolfram is probably using the natural log instead of log base 10

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

Can you please let me know what it is ? I'm timed right now ;/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

~13.26761

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

Thank you so much I just used the normal calculator and got that too. i didnt think about lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, you have to be careful about that.

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

can you help me in one more ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can try. I have to leave real soon. What is it?

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

What is the percent rate of change in function y= (0.99)^x? determine where the function represents exponential decay.

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

A. 1% exponential growth B. 1% exponential decay C. 10%exponential Growth D. 0.1% exponential decay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remember how in that other problem, the percent rate of change was 10% growth per year? What was being raised to the power of x was "1.10" right? Notice how in this case, .99 is raised to the power of x and .99 is less than 1. So, by that reasoning, we can say that the percent of change here represents 1% exponential decay.

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

You explained it so great. thanks! (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're welcome. I'll see you around. I might be on later. Good luck!

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

Okay I really appreciated the help [:
