What is the concentration of H+ ions at a pH = 2?
erastova [34]

Answer:

0.01M = [H⁺]; 1x10⁻¹²M = [OH⁻]; Ratio is: 1x10¹⁰

Explanation:

pH is defined as -log [H⁺]

For a pH of 2 we can solve [H⁺] as follows:

pH = -log [H⁺]

2 = -log [H⁺]

10^-2 = [H⁺]

<h3>0.01M = [H⁺]</h3>

Using Keq of water:

Keq = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [H⁺] [OH⁻]

1x10⁻¹⁴ / 0.01M = [OH⁻]

<h3>1x10⁻¹²M = [OH⁻]</h3><h3 />

The ratio is:

[H⁺] / [OH⁻] = 0.01 / 1x10⁻¹² =

<h3>1x10¹⁰</h3>
