Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the concentration of H+ ions in a solution with a pH of 3?
  • Step 1: Understand that pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution.
  • Step 2: Recall the formula that relates pH to H+ concentration: [H+] = 10^(-pH).
  • Step 3: Substitute the given pH value (which is 3) into the formula: [H+] = 10^(-3).
  • Step 4: Calculate 10 raised to the power of -3, which equals 0.001.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the concentration of H+ ions in the solution is 0.001 M.
