A solution has a pH = 4.63. What is the [H3O+] concentration?

[H3O+] = 10-pH Remember this expression is the inverse of pH = -log[H3O+]

Step-by-step explanation:

The pH of a solution can you be found by using the formula


pH = - log [ { H_3O}^(+)]

Since we are finding the [H3O+] , substitute the value of the pH and find it's antilog

We have


4.63 = - log[ { H_3O}^(+)] \\ [ { H_3O}^(+)] = {10}^( - 4.63) \\ \\ = 2.344 * {10}^( - 5) mol {dm}^( - 3)

Hope this helps you
