Answer: The concentration of [tex]H^+[/tex] in the solution is [tex]3.16\times 10^{-3}M[/tex]
Explanation:
pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration present in the solution.
[tex]pH=-\log [H^+][/tex] .....(1)
We are given:
pH of solution = 2.5
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
[tex]2.5=-\log [H^+][/tex]
[tex][H^+]=10^{-2.5}[/tex]
[tex][H^+]=3.16\times 10^{-3}M[/tex]
Hence, the concentration of [tex]H^+[/tex] in the solution is [tex]3.16\times 10^{-3}M[/tex]
