Applications of Logarithms
I really need help with this log stuff please.
If the PH of acetic acid is 5, what is the PH of hydrochloric acid if it is 200 times more acidic?
the formula is right here:
P=P0*10^PH2-PH1
200=10^5-PH1
log200=(5-PH1)log10
And I don't know where to go from here, please help.
knowing very little about chemistry , I can only go by the math equation
from
log 200 = (5-PH1)log10
we know log 10 = 1, so
log 200 = 5 - PH1
PH1 = 5 - log200 = appr 2.699
