Hello again The answer is d. It has a hydrogen ion concentration of 1 x 10-4M. "pH is defined as the negative logarithm to the base 10 of molar concentration of hydrogen ions. pH = - log10 [ H+ ] = log10 For pure water and neutral solution [ H+ ] = 1 ´ 10- 7 pH = log10 [H+ ] = - log (1 ´ 10- 7) = 7 " Chemistry Study Guide http://www.pinkmonkey.com/studyguides/subjects/chem/chap12/c1212801.asp Note: 10^-4 may not seem like much, but since the OH- concentration of the same solution is 10^-10 [becasue H+ * OH- = 10^-14] and the number 10^-4 is 10^6 or 1,000,000 times larger than 10^-10 therefore you can see the H+ concentration is 1,000,000 times greater than the OH- concentration Search terms used: ph ion concentration -Richard |
