Question

Check my answer*
The pH of a liquid is a measure of how acidic or basic it is. The concentration of hydrogen ions in a liquid is labeled [H^+]. Use the formula pH=-log[H^+] to find the pH level, to the nearest tenth, of a liquid with [H^+].
I think it is 14.6 but I am not sure if it is positive or negative..

Answer 1

Answer 2

oh sorry the last sentence is of a liquid with [H^+] about 4.3 * 10^-14

Answer 3

You would find

-log( 4.3 * 10^-14 )

which would be fastest with a calculator. You can use some log properties, but in the end will need a calculator.

Answer 4

14.6 isn't correct, can you show your work?

Answer 5

I see, it'll be 13.4

Answer 6

Yep.

Answer 7

it'll be positive right?

Answer 8

Yep.

Answer 9

pH is always a positive number, and between 1 and 14 (or 0 and 14, too lazy to check).
