Question

Can you please help solve and explain the steps for the calculation?

The pH of a basic solution is 9.51, what is the [H+] ?

Answer 1

The hydrogen ion concentration in a solution, [H+], in mol L-1, can be calculated if the pH of the solution is known.

pH is defined as the negative logarithm (to base 10) of the hydrogen ion concentration in mol L-1 pH = -log10[H+] ...

[H+] in mol L-1 can be calculated using the equation (formula): [H+] = 10-pH
