3. when the hydronium ion concentration of a solution is 1x10-4 m, what
ph of the solution? is the solution acidic or basic?
the

pH = 4

Solution is acidic

Explanation:

Given data;

Hydronium ion concentration = 1 × 10⁻⁴ M

pH of solution = ?

Solution:

pH = -log [H₃O⁺]

pH = -log [ 1 × 10⁻⁴ ]

pH =  4

According to pH scale the pH 7 is neutral while the pH less than 7 is acidic and greater than 7 is basic. The given solution has pH 4 it means solution is acidic.

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
