Which of these solutions has the highest concentration of H+?

solution A, pH = 12.5

solution B, pH = 7.0

solution C, pH = 2.5

Respuesta :

The correct answer is option C, 2.5

The solution with the highest amount concentration of H+ is solution C

Data;

  • pH = 12.5
  • pH = 7.0
  • pH = 2.5

Hydrogen Ion Concentration

To find the hydrogen ion concentration, we just need to use the formula that relates pH and hydrogen ion concentration. This is given as

[tex]pH = -log[H^+][/tex]

for solution A

pH = 12.5

[tex]pH = 12.5\\12.5 = -log [H^+] = [H^+] = 10^-^1^2^.^5=3.162*10^-^1^3\\[/tex]

for solution B

pH = 7.0

[tex]pH = -log[H^+]\\7.0=-log[H^+]\\H^+ = 10^-^7\\H^+=1.0*10^-^7[/tex]

for solution C

pH = 2.5

[tex]pH =-log{H^+}\\2.5 = -log[H^+]\\H^+ = 10^-^2^.^5\\H^+ = 0.0032[/tex]

From the calculation above, the solution with the highest amount concentration of H+ is solution C.
