Solve the problem.
-The pH of a solution ranges from 0 to 14. An acid has a pH less than 7 . Pure water is neutral and has a pH of 7 . The $\mathrm { pH }$ of a solution is given by $\mathrm { pH } = - \log x$ where $x$ represents the concentration of the hydrogen ions in the solution in moles per liter. Find the hydrogen ion concentration if the $\mathrm { pH } = 5$.
A) $10 ^ { - 5 }$
B) 105
C) $1.61$
D) $0.2$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Given the formula for pH, $ \mathrm { pH } = - \log x $, and the pH value of 5, we solve for $x$ by reversing the logarithm to get the hydrogen ion concentration, which results in $x = 10^{-5}$ moles per liter.
