question 81

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The $\mathrm { pH }$ 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 $\mathrm { pH } = - \log \mathrm { x }$ where $x$ represents the concentration of the hydrogen ions in the solution in moles per liter. Find the hydrogen ion concentration if the $\mathrm { pH } = 2.4$ .
