The hydrogen ion concentration of a fruit juice is 3.3xx 10^(-2) M. What is the pH of the juice ? Is it acidic or basic ?

Answer»

Solution :The DEFINITION of pH is
We are GIVEN `[H^(+)]=3.3xx10^(-2)`
Substituting into the definition of pH, we get
`pH=-log(3.3xx10^(-2))`
`=-(-1.48)=1.48`
SINCE the pH is LESS than 7.00, the solution is acidic.
