  2. B 4.64
  3. C 5.66
  4. D 3.34
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 3.34

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} \mathrm{pH} & =-\log _{10}\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right] \\ & =-\log _{10}\left(4.62 \times 10^{-4}\right) \\ & =-\left[\log _{10} 4.62+\left(\log _{10} 10^{-4}\right)\right] \\ & =-[0.6646-4] \\ & =3.3354\end{aligned}\)
