Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\text{3; acidic}}[/tex]

Explanation:

[H⁺] = 1 x 10⁻³ mol/L

To get the pH, you take the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration.  

pH = -log[H⁺]

= -log(1 × 10⁻³)

= -log1 - log(10⁻³)

= 0 – (-3)

= 0 + 3

= 3

The pH is less than 7, so the solution is acidic.

According to pH values, the value below 7 indicates acidity. As per the given concentration of hydrogen ion, the pH value is 3 which means it is acidic.

What is the use of pH?

pH is the value to determine whether the solution is acidic or basic.

It can be calculated as

[tex]pH= -log[H^{+} ][/tex]

Given,

[H⁺] = 1 x 10⁻³ mol/L

[H⁺]= -log(1 × 10⁻³)

[H⁺]= -log1 - log(10⁻³)

[H⁺]= 0 – (-3)

[H⁺]= 0 + 3

[H⁺]= 3

Thus, it can be concluded that the pH value here is 3, it means it is acidic.
