Matematically speaking, maybe because:
The number of substances = number of elements + number of different combinations of those elements
Answer:
Wetlands are important features in the landscape that provide numerous beneficial services for people and for fish and wildlife. Some of these services, or functions, include protecting and improving water quality, providing fish and wildlife habitats, storing floodwaters and maintaining surface water flow during dry periods. These valuable functions are the result of the unique natural characteristics of wetlands.
The answer is -3, if you are asking for that

pH = 0.5 pKa + 0.5 pCa
0.5 pCa = pH - 0.5 pKa
= 4.2 - (0.5 * (-log 1.34 x 10⁻⁵)) = 1.76
pCa = 3.53
Ca = antilog - 3.52 = 3 x 10⁻⁴
where Ca is the acid concentration
