What is the $\mathrm{pH}$ of the solution containing $1.342 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{M} \mathrm{H}^{+}$ ions?…

What is the $\mathrm{pH}$ of the solution containing $1.342 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{M} \mathrm{H}^{+}$ ions? $(\log 1.342=0.1277)$
  1. $1.28$
  2. $3.57$
  3. $2.87$
  4. $2.38$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{pH}=-\log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right] \\ & =-\log \left(1.342 \times 10^{-3}\right) \\ & =3-\log 1.342 \\ & =3-0.1277 \\ & =2.87\end{aligned}$
