The ansewer is Boyle’s law
<em>Calculate the pH of the following substances formed during a volcanic eruption:
</em>
<em>• Acid rain if the [H +] is 1.9 x 10-5
</em>
<em>• Sulfurous acid if [H +] = 0.10
</em>
<em>• Nitric acid if [H +] = 0.11</em>
<em />
<h3>Further explanation </h3>
pH is the degree of acidity of a solution that depends on the concentration of H⁺ ions. The greater the value the more acidic the solution and the smaller the pH.
pH = - log [H⁺]
![\tt pH=-log[1.9\times 10^{-5}]\\\\pH=5-log1.9\\\\pH=4.72](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20pH%3D-log%5B1.9%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CpH%3D5-log1.9%5C%5C%5C%5CpH%3D4.72)
![\tt pH=-log[10^{-1}]\\\\pH=1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20pH%3D-log%5B10%5E%7B-1%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CpH%3D1)
![\tt pH=-log[11\times 10^{-2}]\\\\pH=2-log~11=0.959](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20pH%3D-log%5B11%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-2%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CpH%3D2-log~11%3D0.959)
Valency is the number of electrons lost or gained by an atom to attain an stable configuration. Valency is important when writing the formula of chemical compounds in chemistry. Strontium has a valency of 2 while sulfite ion (radicle) has a valency of 2. Therefore, the chemical formula of strontium sulfite is written as SrSO3.
