Question

Scientists have discovered a new substance with a hydrogen ion concentration of 0.095811180 M. Determine the corresponding pH level for this new substance. Round your final answer 3 decimal places

Answer 1

Answer: 1.018

Explanation:

The pH level of a substance indicates the concentration of hydrogen ions (
`H^(+)`) in a solution and is calculated by:

`pH=-log(H^(+))`

In this case the hydrogen ion concentration is
`0.095811180 M`, where

`M=(moles)/(volume)`. Hence:

`pH=-log(0.095811180 M)`

`pH=1.018` This means this new substance is acid
