Answer:
10−8 M.
Explanation:
In this problem we are given pH and asked to solve for the hydrogen ion concentration. Using the equation, pH = − log [H+] , we can solve for [H+] as,
− pH = log [H+] ,
[H+] = 10−pH,
by exponentiating both sides with base 10 to "undo" the common logarithm. The hydrogen ion concentration of blood with pH 7.4 is,
[H+] = 10−7.4 ≈ 0.0000040 = 4.0 × In this problem we are given pH and asked to solve for the hydrogen ion concentration. Using the equation, pH = − log [H+] , we can solve for [H+] as,

[H+] = 10−7.4 ≈ 0.0000040 = 4.0 × 10−8 M.
So the equation is balanced, meaning they have the smallest amounts of each element in the reactants to create the products.
So, 2 moles of H2S (the coefficient) contributes to 2 moles Ag2S, which is why the ratio is 2:2.
I hope that made sense.
