Question

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 2.55.

Answer 1

The question is incomplete.

The complete question probably is

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 2.55. Find the hydrogen ion concentration.

Answer: -

0.003 M

Explanation: -

pH = − log₁₀[H⁺]

Thus the hydrogen ion concentration [H⁺] = $10^{-pH}$

= $10^{-2.55}$

= 0.003 M
