Question

I am confused regarding pH calculation. I know that findingthe - log of a H+ concentration gives the pH value.However, I don't know how to do the math for finding theconcentration if I have the pH, i.e. the backward process. Pleaseexplain how to do the math. example: 4.6 = -log x. Solve for x. I am confused regarding pH calculation.

Explanation / Answer

pH = -log [H+] 4.6 = -log [H+] log[H+] = -4.6 [H+] = 10-4.6 = 0.00002512M For reverse log, just use 10X , where X = -4.6 in thiscase. Hope this helps!
