Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

pH is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration in a solution. pH can be mathematically expressed as;

pH = -log(H+)

where H+ is the hydrogen ion concentration.

pH = -log(1.0 x 10-4 M)

pH = -(-4)

pH = 4 (The two minus signs cancelled out, so, the result becomes 4)

Thus, the pH of the solution is 4 (indicating an acidic solution)
