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^+] about 4.3 x 10^-14.

a.13.4
b.14.6

They already gave you the formula for finding the pH.

zale101 · Answer

Also, the concentration of H+ is also given. All you have to do now is take the negative log of the concentration of H+.
pH = -log [H^+]
