Answer: The concentration of
H^+ in the solution is
3.16* 10^(-3)M

Step-by-step explanation:

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration present in the solution.


pH=-\log [H^+] .....(1)

We are given:

pH of solution = 2.5

Putting values in equation 1, we get:


2.5=-\log [H^+]


[H^+]=10^(-2.5)


[H^+]=3.16* 10^(-3)M

Hence, the concentration of
H^+ in the solution is
3.16* 10^(-3)M
