A sample of grape juice has a hydroxide ion concentration of 1.4 × 10-10 M.
Is the grape juice more or less acidic than a sample of orange juice that has a hydronium ion concentration of 1.8 × 10-4 M?

Calculate the pH of the orange juice from its hydronium ion concentration.

Respuesta :

grape juice
pOH = -log[1.4*10⁻¹⁰]
≈9.6
pH=14-pOH=14-9.6=4.4

orange juce
pH= -log[1.8*10⁻⁴]=3.7

Orange juice has lower pH, so it is more acidic. 

The pH of the orange juice is 3.7.

What is pH?

pH is a quantitative measure of the acidity or basicity of aqueous or other liquid solutions.

The relation between hydroxide ion ([tex]OH^-[/tex]) and hydronium ion ([tex]H_3O^+[/tex]) is given by:

pH + pOH = 14, which is equivalent to [[tex]H_3O^+[/tex]] [[tex]OH^-[/tex]] = [tex]10^ -^1^4[/tex]

Grape juice

pOH = -log [1.4 x 10⁻¹⁰] ≈ 9.6

pH= 14 - pOH = 14 - 9.6 = 4.4

Orange juce

pH= -log [1.8 x10⁻⁴] = 3.7

Hence, orange juice has lower pH, so it is more acidic.
