During a field trip to study the problem of acid rain,you test one lake that had observed a major fish kill.It was found to have a pH of 5.37.What is the [H⁺]? A) 2.3*^-9 B) 3.7*10^-5 C) 4.3*10^-6 D) 1.7*10⁵

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation for calculating [H⁺] is: [H⁺] = 10^-pH. Plugging in the given pH of 5.37, we get [H⁺] = 4.3 x 10^-6. Therefore, the correct choice is C.
