cool have a great day

Answer : The hydrogen ion concentration is, (B) [tex]3.2\times 10^{-5}M[/tex]

Explanation :

pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

[tex]pH=-\log [H^+][/tex]

Given:

pH = 4.5

Now put the value of pH in the above expression, we get value of hydrogen ion concentration.

[tex]pH=-\log [H^+][/tex]

[tex]4.5=-\log [H^+][/tex]

[tex][H^+]=3.2\times 10^{-5}M[/tex]

Thus, the hydrogen ion concentration is, [tex]3.2\times 10^{-5}M[/tex]
