answer is C

to find the H+ concentration given the pH, you need to use the following formula

[H+]= 10^-pH

[H+]= 10^-11= 1 x 10-11

Answer : The correct option is, (C)
1* 10^(-11)M

Explanation : Given,

pH = 11

pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion cocnetration.

Mathematically it is represented as :


pH=-\log [H^+]

Now put the value of pH in this expression, we get the hydrogen ion concentration.


11=-\log [H^+]


[H^+]=1.0* 10^(-11)M

Therefore, the hydrogen ion concentration is
1* 10^(-11)M
