Calculating pH from [H+] Calculate the pH of the following.
- 5 ×10-4 M HCl
- 7 ×10-5 M NaOH
- 2µM HCl
- 7 ×10-2 M KOH
- 04 m HCl
- 6 ×10-9 M HCl
To determine:
The pH value of given acid concentration.
Introduction:
The pH is the measure of hydrogen ion concentration in a solution. pH value is calculated by taking the negative base 10 logarithm of the hydrogen ion molar concentration. When the hydrogen ion concentration is high, the pH value is low and when the hydrogen ion concentration is low, pH value is high.
It is mathematically represented as follows:
Here,
Answer to Problem 1P
pH
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
HCl concentration
Formula used:
Calculation:
Since, HCl is a strong acid, the concentration of hydrogen ion is equal to the concentration of the acid.
To determine:
The pH value of given base concentration.
