MCQ
The hydrogen ion concentration of the oceans is about $2 \times 10^{-9}\,M.$ What is the $pH$
  • A
    $8.85$
  • B
    $9.3$
  • C
    $7.85$
  • $8.7$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$8.7$
d
$\mathrm{pH}=-\log \left[\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}\right]=-\log \left[2 \times 10^{-9}\right]=-(\log 2-9)=9-\log 2=9-0.301=8.7$
