Question

If you have a pH of 3.35, what is the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution?

Answer 1

Answer: 4.46 x 10^-4M

Explanation:

The pH of a solution is the concentration of hydrogen ion concentration in the solution. Mathematically, it is expressed as pH = -log(H+), where H+ is the concentration of hydrogen ion

On the pH scale, readings are from 1 to 14.

- pH values less than 7 are regarded as acidic. So, the solution with pH 3.35 is said to be acidic, and will produce hydrogen ions.

3.35 = -log(H+)

(H+) = Antilog (-3.35)

(H+) = 0.000446M

Place (H+) in standard form

(H+) = 4.46 x 10^-4M

Thus, the concentration of hydrogen ion in the solution with pH 3.35 is 4.46 x 10^-4M
