What is the pH of a solution in which the H+ concentration is 0.0052 M?
3.4
1.7
2.3
4.1
Solution
pH= -log[H+] (pH is calculated by taking negative log of the H+ concentration in mol/L)
[H+]=0.0052 M (0.0052 mol/L)
so, pH= -log[0.0052] =2.28=2.3(rounded off 2 to 3 as 8 is its next number and its greater than 5)
The term pH has significance for dilute solutions and not for very concentrated strong acids.So, the answer is 2.3
