The pH scale for acidity is defined by pH=−log10[H⁺] where [H⁺]is the concentration of hydrogen ions measured in moles per liter
(M). A solution has a pH of 12.25. Calculate the concentration of hydrogen ions in moles per liter (M). The concentration of hydrogen ions is ___________ moles per liter.
The pH of a solution is the negative logarithm to base 10 of the concentration of hydrogen ions. What we simply do here is to input the information in the question into the equation:
pH=−log10[H⁺]
Here we know the pH but we do not know the concentration of the hydrogen ions.
