Find the $\mathrm { pH }$ of a solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of $1.08 \cdot 10 ^ { - 5 }$ gram-ions per liter.
A) $\quad 4.9$
B) $\quad 0.5$
C) $\quad 4.96$
D) 5
E) $5.01$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pH of a solution can be calculated by taking the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration. Therefore,

$$\mathrm { pH } = - \log \left( 1.08 \cdot 10 ^ { - 5 } \right) = 4.96$$

Therefore, the correct answer is (C): 4.96.
