Question

What is the pH of a house cleaning solution with molar hydrogen ion concentration [H+] of 1.0 x 10-8? please explain. Thank you so much!​

Answer 1

`pH = - log({H}^( + ) ) \\ pH = - log(1.0 * {10}^( - 8) ) \\ pH = 8`

pH is the measure of acidity and alkalinity of a solution. A pH value less than 7 means the solution is acidic. A pH value greater than 7 means the solution is basic. A pH value of 7 means the solutions is neutral.
