Answer:

The pH of the substance is 4,06.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pH indicates the acidity or basicity of a substance. PH values between 0 and less than 7 indicate acidic solutions, 7 neutral and greater than 7 to 14 basic. It is calculated as:

pH = -log (H +)

pH= -log (8.8x10^-5)

pH=4,06
