Question

The ph of a fruit juice is 3.43.4. find the hydronium ion​ concentration, left bracket upper h 3 upper o superscript plus right bracketh3o+​, of the juice. use the formula phequals=negative log left bracket upper h 3 upper o superscript plus right bracket−logh3o+.

Answer 1

pH is simply a convenient way to denote hydronium ion concentration (usually in moles per liter or molarity). pH is calculated from the given concentration using the equation: pH = -log [H3O⁺]

To find [H3O+] from the given equation, we apply the antilog.
[H3O⁺] = 10⁻⁽pH⁾ or ten raised to the negative value of pH
A solution with a pH of 3.43 has a hydrogen ion concentration of 3.7154x10^-4 moles per liter.
