Chemists use pH as a measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It uses the concentration of hydrogen ions H+ in a logarith
mic function. A chemist is studying the alkalinity of a hot spring near a volcano. The hydrogen ion concentration is increasing according to the function f(d) = (0.5 × 10–4)d, where d is the number of days. The function for pH is g(H+) = –log10(H+), where H+ is the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution. Which function shows the pH of the hot spring as a function of d? g(f(d)) = –log10(d) g(f(d)) = –d(log10(0.5 × 10–4)) g(f(d)) = –log10((0.5 × 10–4)d) g(f(d)) = –log10(d × 10–4)
