Answer:

0.032 M

Step-by-step explanation:

pH denotes the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution. pH stands for potential hydrogen. The letter “p” denotes potential and the letter “H” denotes for hydrogen. A pH number varies from 0 to 14 depending upon on how acidic or alkaline a liquid is. Any aqueous solution that has pH above 7 is alkaline and any aqueous solution that has pH below 7 is acidic.

ph of phosphoric acid = 1.5

pH = -log[
H_3O^+]

1.5 = -log[
H_3O^+]

-1.5 = log[
H_3O^+]


[H_3O^+]=10^(-1.5) = 0.032 M
