What Would Be the Concentration of Hydronium Ions in a Solution

Question 69

Multiple Choice

What would be the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution that had a pH = -3? Why would such a solution be impossible to prepare?


A) Concentration of H3\mathrm { H } _ { 3 } O+\mathrm { O } ^ { + } = 3 M.It is impossible because it is hard to measure such a small amount of hydronium ions accurately.
B) Concentration of H3\mathrm { H } _ { 3 } O+\mathrm { O } ^ { + } = 30 M.It is impossible because pH can not be negative.
C) Concentration of H3\mathrm { H } _ { 3 } O+\mathrm { O } ^ { + } = 103010 ^ { 30 } M.It is impossible because any container used to hold the acid would immediately corrode.
D) Concentration of H3\mathrm { H } _ { 3 } O+\mathrm { O } ^ { + } = 10310 ^ { 3 }
