Show that the pH of a solution is - 0.301 when its hydronium ion concentration equals 2 moles/L. Is the solution acidic or basic?

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Data

Demonstrate pH = - 0.301

concentration = 2 moles/L

Formula

pH = - log [H⁺]

Process

1. - Calculate the [H⁺] concentration

[H⁺] = 2 moles/L = 2 M2. - Substitute in the formula

pH = - log[2]

simplification

pH = - 0.301

2. - Conclusion

It is an acidic solution
