Question

HELP PLEASE!

how do you solve for x?

-9.338521401 = log (0.1/x)

Can someone show me the steps to solving for x?

i know that answer is 1336.76 but I want to understand the steps to get there...

Answer 1

Are you sure that it's log and not ln ?
if it's ln the step are the following
-9.33= ln 0.1 - ln x
-9.33 - ln 0.1 = -ln x
multiply each side by -1
then use exponential ( whatyoufind) = x

Answer 2

im pretty sure its in the log form because i'm using the nernst equation.

Answer 3

Then you have to do this:
9.33= lg (0.1) - lg (x)
lg (x)= lg (0.1) + 9.33
lg (x)= 8.33
x= 10^8.33
but then the answer is wrong, are you sure of the answer?

Answer 4

i think i figured out what was wrong. thanks for the help!
