Question

Use the rules for logarithms and exponents to solve for pH in terms of [H+]pH=

Answer 1

pH = -log[H+]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the equation of [H+], we can find the equation for pH, clearing pH by passing 10 to the other side of the equation as logarithm to base 10, and then the negative sign:

`\begin{gathered} \lbrack H^+\rbrack=10^(-pH) \\ log\lbrack H^+\rbrack=-pH \\ -log\lbrack H^+\rbrack=pH \end{gathered}`
