Question

A solution has 0.0048 M of H+. What is the pH? Is
the solution acidic or basic?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The pH of a solution is the negative logarithm (base 10) of its hydrogen ion concentration (H+):

pH = -log[H+]

In this case, the hydrogen ion concentration is 0.0048 M, so we can calculate the pH as:

pH = -log(0.0048) = 2.32

Therefore, the pH of the solution is 2.32.

Since the pH is less than 7, the solution is acidic.
