Answer:
(a) pH=4.0
(b) pH=8.3
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, since the pH is understood as the potential of the hydrogen in an aqueous solution, and we can calculate it is as follows:
[tex]pH=-log([H^+])[/tex]
We simply need to plug in the concentrations on each question as shown below:
(a)
[tex]pH=-log(1x10^{-4})\\\\pH=4[/tex]
(b)
[tex]pH=-log(5x10^{-9})\\\\pH=8.3[/tex]
