The hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is \(3.98 \times 10^{-6}\) mole per liter. The \(\mathrm{pH}\) value of this solution will be

  1. A \(6.0\)
  2. B \(5.8\)
  3. C \(5.4\)
  4. D \(5.9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(5.4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{pH}=-\log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]\)
\(=-\log \left(3.98 \times 10^{-6}\right)\)
\(=-\log 3.98-\log 10^{-6}\)
\(=-0.59+6=5.41\)
