pH = - log10 [H+]. The pH of a solution containing hydrogen ion concentration of
0.001M solution is _____ ( 3 / 11 / 14)
3
We are given that the hydrogen ion concentration [H+] is 0.001M
We know that : -
pH = - log10 [H+]
⇒ pH = - log10[0.001]
⇒ pH = - log10[10-3]
⇒ pH = -(-3) log10[10]
(As log10[10] = 1)
⇒ pH = 3 × 1
⇒ pH = 3
