Question 371938: The pH of a water sample is one of the many measurements of water quality done by the U.S. Geological Survey. the hydrogen ion concentration of the water in the Red River above Shreveport, Louisiana, was 9.77x10^-9 mole per liter on October 25, 1989. What was the pH of the water at that time?
