Calculate the pH of 3.6 x 10-7 M HNO3? 2.0 x 10-4 M NaOH?

Given: [H3O+] = 3.6 x 10-7 M

Required: pH

pH = - log [H3O+] = -log(3.6 x 10-7 M) = 6.44

[H3O+] = 2.0 x 10-4 M

pH = - log [H3O+] = -log(2.0 x 10-4) = 3.7

What is the [H3O+] of a solution with a pH of 7.75? 1.30?

1. pH = 7.75
pH = - log [H3O+]
-(7.75 = - log[H3O+])
Antilog -7.75 = antilog (log[H3O+])
[H3O+] = 1.7 x 10-8 M

7.75 -> 8

8 - 7.75 = 0.25

10-8+0.25 = antilog 0.25 x 10-8

[H3O+] = 1.79 x10-8M

2. pH = 1.30
pH = - log [H3O+]
-(1.30 = - log [H3O+])
Antilog -1.30 = antilog (log [H3O+])
[H3O+] = 0.05 M (5x10-2 M)
