Answer: The concentration of
ions in vinegar is 0.001 M.
Explanation:
Given: pH = 3.0
pH is the negative logarithm of concentration of hydrogen ion.
The expression for pH is as follows.
![pH = - log [H^{+}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%20%3D%20-%20log%20%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D)
Substitute the value into above expression as follows.
![pH = - log [H^{+}]\\3.0 = - log [H^{+}]\\conc. of H^{+} = antilog (- 3.0)\\= 0.001 M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%20%3D%20-%20log%20%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%5C%5C3.0%20%3D%20-%20log%20%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%5C%5Cconc.%20of%20H%5E%7B%2B%7D%20%3D%20antilog%20%28-%203.0%29%5C%5C%3D%200.001%20M)
Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of
ions in vinegar is 0.001 M.

The answer is 3). This is because elements are the simplest form of a substance, and cannot be broken down any further. Compounds on the other hand are much more complex than elements and can be broken down INTO elements.
For example, Na, sodium, is an element and cannot be broken down further. H2O, water, is a compound and can be broken down into Hydrogen and Oxygen.
