If acid rain has lowered the pH of a particular lake from pH 7.0 to pH 4.0, the hydrogen ion concentration of this lake has been increased by a factor of 1000. This is because each whole unit on the pH scale represents a 10-fold change in acidity and basicity.
1 × 10-10 mol of hydroxide ion per liter of lake water
In a way, p stands for -log.
So, pH is simply -log[H+]
Hence by math, the hydrogen ion concentration is 10(-pH)
The [H+]will be 10-4 moldm-3
Have a nice day.
[OH-] = 5.25 x 10-10
5.0*10^-5
Acidic
No, the pH is the negative logarithim to base 10 of the Hydrogen Ion concentration.
The pH scale works like this:1 being acidic, like lemon juice,10 is basic, amoniathe lower the number the more acidic, higher numbers are basic and 7 is neutralthe stronger the base, the higher the number, which means a higher OH ion concentration. the stronger the acid, the lower the number, means a higher H3O ion concentration and a lower OH concentration.
pH= -log[H+] where [H+] denotes the conc. of H+ ion. => 9= -log[H+] =>-9= log[H+] =>10-9= [H+] [OH-]= 10-14/10-9 = 10-5
To find the hydronium ion concentration from pH, set base 10 to the negative power of the pH. Here that corresponds to 10 to the power of -8.75 The answer is 0.000000002 or 2x10^-9 Although this response is correct in saying that concentration and pH are based on sets of base 10; however, it is incorrect in it's response. From pH--> [H30] -log(pH) From [H30]---> pH 10^(-pH)
As hydroxide concentration increases pH increases
The hydroxide ion concentration equals the hydronium ion concentration at a (neutral) pH of 7
None. In a solution with a pH of 7 the hydrogen ion concentration is equal to the hydroxide ion concentration.
Acidic
No, the pH is the negative logarithim to base 10 of the Hydrogen Ion concentration.
pH 2
In this case the pH increase over 7.
pOH happens to be the negative log of hydroxide ion' s concentration while pH is the negative log of hydrogen ion's concentration. pH is used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
pH + pOH = 14 pH is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration, [H+] pOH is a measure of the hydroxide ion concentration, [OH-] pH = -log10[H+] pOH = -log10[OH-]
2.5 x 10-2

In an acid (pH <7) it should be the hydronium ion: H+ or H3O+ In a base (pH >7) it should be the hydroxide/hydroxil ion: OH-
