Answer:

The answer to your question is pH = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

[H⁺] = 1 x 10⁻⁵

pH = ?

pH is a measure of the hydrogen concentration. It measures the acidity or alkalinity. The range of pH goes from 0 to 14. The pH for an acid is from 0 to 6.9, for a neutral solution is 7.0 and for an alkali is from 7.1 to 14.

Formula

pH = -log [H⁺]

-Substitution

pH = -log [1 x 10⁻⁵]

-Simplification

pH = - (-5)

-Result

pH = 5
