document.write( "Question 1150357: In chemistry, the pH of a solution is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Water has a pH of 7 and, in general, acids have a pH less than 7 and alkaline solutions have a pH greater than 7. Find the pH of a solution with a hydronium ion concentration of 8.7×10^−5 moles/liter. Round your answer to two decimal places, if necessary.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You simply want to find negative logarithm of the hydronium ion (in moles per liter). You could use a handheld calculator for that.\r
