What is the ph of a solution with a concentration of 3.6 × 10-5 molar h3o+? show, or explain, the work used to solve this problem.

pH = 4.44

Explanation:

You take the negative logarithm of the hydronium ion concentration.

pH = -log[H₃O⁺] = -log(3.6 × 10⁻⁵) = 4.44

when [oh-] is 10-5  m, and [h3o+] is 10-9  m, the poh is 5 and ph is 9. again in both cases the sum of ph and poh is 14. however, the hydrogen ion concentration is not always going to be equal to exactly 1 x 10 raised to a negative number. for example, we skipped over the value of 2.0 x 10-7.
