What is the \(\mathrm{pH}\) of a solution containing \(2.2 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{M}\) hydrogen ions?

  1. A 6.34
  2. B 5.66
  3. C 4.34
  4. D 3.8
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 5.66

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{pH}=-\log _{10}\left[\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}\right] =-\log _{10}\left[2.2 \times 10^{-6}\right] \)
\( =6-\log _{10}(2.2)=6-0.34 \)
\( =5.66\)
