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!
The answer would be D. This is because sulfur is on it's own, meaning one. while tri is a prefix for three so there are three oxygen atoms.
Sulfur reacts with oxygen to produce sulfur dioxide. That is for every mole of sulfur reacted, one mole of sulfur dioxide also is produced. With the given mole of sulfur dioxide, the amount of sulfur in mass is determined by multiplying the number of moles to the molar mass of sulfur (32 g/mol).
