Answer:
Our world will never be the same. Our beaches will be submerged, many towns, cities, states, and even countries will be partially if not completely submerged. All these human cities being flooded will kill thousands of people, pollute the ocean, and lose billions of dollars.
Explanation:
Answer: It's equal to 10^(-2.3), or 0.00501 M, or 5.01 * 10^-3 moles/Liter
Explanation:
Well, pH = - log[H+]
Or, in words, pH is equal to -1 multiplied by the logarithm (base 10) of the hydrogen ion concentration.
So you have 2.3 = -log[H+]. We want to isolate the H+, so let's start simplifying the right hand side of the equation. First, we multiply both sides by -1.
-2.3=log[H+]
Now, the definition of a logarithm says that if the log (base 10) of [H+] is -2.3, then 10 raised to the -2.3 power is [H+]
So on each side of the equation, we raise 10 to the power of that side of the equation.
10^(-2.3) = 10^(log[H+])
and because 10^log cancels out...
10^(-2.3) = [H+]
Now we've solved for [H+], the hydrogen ion concentration!
