The pH of several solutions was measured in a hospital laboratory; convert each of the following pH values into the molar concentration of H 3 O ions: (a) 4.8 (the pH of a urine sample); (b) 0.7 (the pH of a sample of fluid extracted from a stomach); (c) 7.4 (the pH of blood); (d) 8.1 (the pH of exocrine pancreatic secretions)

(a)   1.6 x 10⁻⁵ M

(b)   0.20 M

(c)   4.0x 10⁻⁸ M

(d)   7.9 x 10⁻⁹ M

Explanation:

The pH value is the negative logarith of the concentration of hydronium ions in solution:

pH = - log[H₃O⁺]

so to convert the given pHs in this question to molar concentration of H₃O⁺, we need to take the  inverse logarhitmic function of minus  pH.

(a) pH (urine) = 4.8

inverse log (- 4.8 ) = 10^(-4.8) = 1.6 x 10⁻⁵

[H₃O⁺] urine = 1.6 x 10⁻⁵ M

(b) pH (stomach fluid) =0.7 M

inverse log (-0.7) = 10^(-0.7) = 0.20

[H₃O⁺] stomach fluid = 0.20 M

(c) pH (blood) = 7.4

inverse log (-7.4) = 10^(-7.4) =4.0x 10⁻⁸

[H₃O⁺] blood = 4.0x 10⁻⁸ M

(d) pH (pancreatic ) = 8.1

inverse log (-8.1) = 10^(-8.1) = 7.5 x 10⁻⁹

[H₃O⁺] pancreatic  = 7.9 x 10⁻⁹ M

< > according to newton's third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.< >

it’s previous models   because when i picked that son of a gun’s answer it was wrong look for previous models because they might make it a different letter
