What is the concentration of H+ ions at a pH = 2?

Acidic and basic are two extremes that describe chemicals, just like hot and cold are two extremes that describe temperature. Mixing acids and bases can cancel out their extreme effects, much like mixing hot and cold water can even out the water temperature. A substance that is neither acidic nor basic is neutral. 

The character of acidic, basic and neutral is defined by the concentration of hydrogen ions [H+](mol/L). A solution with a concentration of hydrogen ions higher than 10-7mol/L is acidic, and a solution with a lower concentration is alkaline (another way to say basic). Using the formula, pH=-log[H+<span>], a pH of 7 is neutral, a pH less than 7 is acidic, and a pH greater than 7 is basic. As one can see from this formula, ten times a given concentration of hydrogen ions means one unit lower in terms of pH value (higher acidity), and vice versa.

The formula for ph is given by:
<span>pH=−<span>log10</span>[H+]</span>
<span>What is the concentration of H+ ions at a pH = 2?
</span>In calculating for the concentration of hydrogen ion, the formula is given by:
[H+]=(10)^(-pH)

Solution:

[H+]=(10)^(-2)
[H+]=0.01 M

<span>What is the concentration of OH– ions at a pH = 2?
pH+pOH=14
2+pOH=14
pOH=12

</span>[OH-]=(10)^(-pOH)
[OH-]=(10)^(-12)
[OH-]=1.0x10^-12 M

<span>What is the ratio of H+ ions to OH– ions at a pH = 2?
The ratio is 0.01:1.0x10^-12 which is equal to 0.000000000001

Ions that are made of more than one atom are examples of
anastassius [24]
These ions are polyatomic ions. The prefix "poly-" means "many," and the rest of the word "atomic" clearly refers to the atoms themselves. So, if there are two or more atoms in an ion, this ion is polyatomic.
