Answer» 1. pH is a logarithmic scale used to express the hydronium ion concenration in molarity more conveniently. The pH of a solution is defined as negative logarithm to the base 10 of the activity of hydrogen ion. pH = — log aH+ = —log[H+] 2. [H+] = 3.8 × 10-3 pH = -log[H+] = -log [3.8 × 10-3] = -(-2.42) = 2.42 |
