Step-by-step explanation:

The pH is a measure of the basicity or acidity of an aqueous solution.

We can determine the pH like this:

pH = -log [H+]

We know the concentration of H+ of our solution. So we have to take the -log of that value.

[H+] = 6.3 * 10^(-5)

pH = -log [H+]

pH = -log (6.3 * 10^(-5))

pH = 4.2

Answer: the pH is 4.2.
