What is the concentration of hydronium ions in a substance that has a pH of 6.2?

thomaster (thomaster):

The concentration of hydronium ions (\(\sf H_3O^+\)or simply \(\sf H^+\)) is defined as the pH. \(\sf \large pH = - log [H_3O^+]\) to invert this (calculating H3O+ with pH), use the following formula: \(\sf\Large [H_3O^+] = 10^{-(pH)}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[1\times10^{(-6.2)} = 6.31\times10^{-7} H30\]

thomaster (thomaster):

@kametri7 the answer is for the asker to figure out...

thomaster how do you get the 10 in the 2nd formula?

thomaster (thomaster):

the opposite of a = log(x) is x= 10^(a)
