Question

Calculate the ph of 1.6 into 10 to the power minus 5 and h2 s o4 solution

Answer 1

Since the concentration of H2SO4 is 10^-3 (M), the concentration of H+ in the solution will be 2*10^-3(M) (because each molecule of H2SO4 releases 2 H+ ions).

pH of a solution is -log([H+]). where, [H+] is the concentration of H+ in the solution.

So, the pH of the given solution is, -log(0.002)=2.69.

Therefore the pH of the given solution is 2.69.
