Question

The pH of a solution is 6.06 calculate its H+ ion concentration

Answer 1

Given,

pH of a solution = 6.06

To Find,

H+ ion concentration

Solution,

pH = 6.06,

The formula for calculating pH is

PH = -log10[H+]

log10[H+] = -pH

∴ [H+] = Antilog – pH

          = Antilog – 6.06

          = Antilog  ¯ 7 .94 7¯.94

          = 8.714 × 10-7 M

[H+] = 8.714 × 10-7 M

Hence, the H+ ion concentration of a solution with pH 6.06 is 8.714 × 10-7 M.
