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.

How this problem is worded and posted, it is not a way to present a Math problem.

Since because there is no a continue logical line, idea and/or thought through the text.

It is a fantasy of a person who is not able to present it NEITHER as a Math NOR as a Chemistry problem.


Dear visitor, if you submit similar post next time, I will simply re-direct it to the TRASH SECTION.

You simply want to find negative logarithm of the hydronium ion (in moles per liter). You could use a handheld calculator for that.

pH=-log%28%288.7%2A10%5E%28-5%29%29%29, and then round to one or two decimal places; not further, since only two significant figures were given.

-%28log%28%288.7%29%29%2Blog%28%2810%5E%28-5%29%29%29%29
-log%28%288.7%29%29%2B5%2Alog%28%2810%29%29
-0.93952%2B5%2A1
5-0.93952
pH=4.1
