"Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. An estimated 18 million acres (7.3 million hectares) of forest, which is roughly the size of the country of Panama, are lost each year, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)"
The conversion of forests into agricultural plantations is a major cause of deforestation. The increase in global demand for commodities, such as palm oil and soybeans, are driving industrial-scale producers to clear forests at an alarming rate. Indonesia, the largest producer of palm oil, was named the “Fastest Forest Destroyer,” in the 2008 Guinness World Records. Even when efforts are made to replenish barren plantations, the depleted soil is not able to produce the same biodiversity it once was."
Forest clearing for livestock ranching is another contributor of deforestation. Since 1990, Brazil, a top exporter of beef, has lost an area of forest that is three-fourths the size of Texas. A strong global demand for beef, supported by governments such as in Brazil, is expanding this kind of deforestation.

What is the pH of a 0.00125 M HCl solution?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

pH=2.9

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the pH is computed by:

pH=-log([H^+])

Whereas the concentration of hydrogen ions equals the concentration of the acid for strong acids such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) due to its complete ionization in solution, which means that such concentration is 0.00125 M. Thus, the pH turns out:

pH=-log(0.00125)\\\\pH=2.9

Regards.
