Answer:

  • [H₃O⁺] = 7.586×10⁻⁴ M

Explanation:

The pH of a solution is a measure of the molar concentration of H₃O⁺ ions in the solution.

The mathematical expresssion that states the relation between the molar concentration of H₃O⁺ ions and the pH of the solution is:

  • pH = - log [H₃O⁺].

This is pH is numerically equal to the negative decimal logarithm of the  molar concentration of H₃O⁺.

The square brackets are used to indicate molar concentration.

Thus:

  • pH = - log [H₃O⁺] ← equation
  • 3.120 = -log [H₃O⁺] ← substituting values
  • - 3.120 = log [H₃O⁺] ← product property of the multiplication
  • [tex]10^{- 3.120}=[H_3O^+][/tex] ← antilogarithm property
  • [H₃O⁺] = 7.586×10⁻⁴ M ← result
