Question 1081604: A solution’s pH is given by the function p(t) = -log(t), where t is the hydronium ion concentration, in moles per liter. A drink sample has a pH of 5.0. What is the approximate hydronium ion concentration of the sample?
0.0001
0.000001
0.001
0.00001

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It is 0.00001.
You can put in -log(0.00001) to a calculator ENTER and get 5.
That is why a 0.1 change in pH of the ocean represents a 32% change in H+ ion concentration.
