The pH of maple syrup is 5.2. Calculate the concentration

Question

The pH of maple syrup is 5.2. Calculate the concentration of H+)ions. PH = − log [H+] (show work and write your answer in scientific notation, round to tenths)

Answer 1

PH = -log(H+)

So, 5.2 = -log(H+)

-5.2 = log(H+)

H+ = 10^-5.2 = 6.3 x 10^-6
