Question

the ph of a solution is 5.85. calculate it's H+ ion concentration.

Answer 1

total ph value is 14
total ph value is 5.85
then percentage =
$5.85 \div 14 \times 100$
=41.8%

Answer 2

Answer: The hydrogen ion concentration for the given pH is $1.412\times 10^{-6}$

Explanation:

pH is the measure of hydrogen ion concentration in a solution. It determines the acidity of alkalinity of the solution.

Mathematically,

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

We are given:

$pH=5.85$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5.85=-\log[H^+]\\\\antilog(-5.85)=[H^+]$

$[H^+]=1.412\times 10^{-6}$

Hence, the hydrogen ion concentration for the given pH is $1.412\times 10^{-6}$
