n chemistry, the pH of a solution is defined by: pH space equals space minus log space left square bracket straight H plus right
square bracket, where H+ is the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution in moles per liter. Distilled water has a pH of approximately 7. A solution with a pH under 7 is called an acid, and one with a pH over 7 is called a base. Tomato juice has a hydrogen ion concentration of 10 to the power of negative 4.1 end exponent mole per liter. Find the pH of tomato juice. pH space equals space 4.9 pH space equals space 2.8 pH space equals space 3.5 pH space equals space 4.1
The hydrogen ion [H⁺] concentration in tomato juice =
The pH of a solution = -㏒{H⁺] = -㏒( ) = -(-4.1) × ㏒(10) = 4.1
The pH of the of the tomato juice = 4.1
The pH is the term used to refer to the acidity of water with the range of pH values ranging from 0 to 14 where pH values of a solution lesser than 7 are considered acidic while pH values above 7 indicate a basic solution.
