question 95

Multiple Choice

What would be the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution that had a pH = -3? Why would such a solution be impossible to prepare?

• A) Concentration of = 3 M. It is impossible because it is hard to measure such a small amount of hydronium ions accurately.
• B) Concentration of = 30 M. It is impossible because pH can not be negative.
• C) Concentration of = M. It is impossible because any container used to hold the acid would immediately corrode.
• D) Concentration of = M. It is impossible because only so much acid can dissolve in water before the solution becomes saturated.
