Calculate the pH of a solution whose H3O+ concentration is 2.1 x 10-3 M. Is the solution acidc, basic, or neutral? a

The pH of the solution is 2.7 and the solution is acidic.

b

The pH of the solution is 13.3 and the solution is acidic.

c

The pH of the solution is 13.3 and the solution is basic.

d

The pH of the solution is 2.7 and the solution is basic.

Option A, The pH of the solution is 2.7 and the solution is acidic

Explanation:

As we know,

pH =  - log [H3O+]

Substituting the given values, we get

pH =  - log [2.1 x 10-3 M]

pH =  - (-2.678)

pH = 2.678 or 2.7

The solution is acidic as pH value is less than 7

Hence, option A is correct

explanation:

since this is put under health, i would define "ethical (medical) behavior" the way the oath for doctors is recited.   "first do no harm."

but the term in general means when given a choice between right and wrong, we should always choose right. if we do, then we are practicing ethical behavior.
