Answer: The pH of the solution is 1.34
Explanation:
pH is defined as negative logarithm of hydrogen ion or hydronium ion concentration. It is basically defined as the power of hydrogen ions in a solution.
The equation used to calculate pH of the solution is:
[tex]pH=-\log[H^+][/tex]
We are given:
[tex][H^+]=4.5\times 10^{-2}M[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]pH=-\log(4.5\times 10^{-2})[/tex]
[tex]pH=1.34[/tex]
Hence, the pH of the solution is 1.34
