Answer: pH of an [tex]H_2SO_4[/tex] solution is 4.34
Explanation:
pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.
[tex]pH=-\log [H^+][/tex]
[tex]H_2SO_4\rightarrow 2H^++SO_4^{2-}[/tex]
Putting in the values:
[tex]pH=-\log[4.58\times 10^{-5}][/tex]
[tex]pH=4.34[/tex]
Thus pH of an [tex]H_2SO_4[/tex] solution if the [tex][H^+][/tex] is [tex]4.58\times 10^{-5}][/tex] is 4.34
