Given,
The pH of lemon juice is 5.4
To Find,
The concentration of hydrogen ions in lemon juice.
Solution,
The formula for calculating the pH of a substance is
pH = -log[H+]
where [H+] is the concentration of hydrogen ions.
So,
pH = 5.4
5.4 = -log[H+]
[H+] = antilog(-5.4)
[H+] = 3.98×10⁻⁶
Hence, the concentration of hydrogen ions is 3.98×10⁻⁶.
