Question 9 • DHS Algebra 2 V
What is the hydrogen ion concentration of orange juice that has a pH of 1?
Answer
A
0.1 mole per liter
B
0.01 mole per liter
C
0.0001 mole per liter
D
0.00001 mole per liter
Explanation
Use the relationship pH = −log₁₀[H⁺], so a pH of 1 means [H⁺] = 10⁻¹ mole per liter. Since 10⁻¹ = 0.1, the hydrogen ion concentration is 0.1 mole per liter, choice A.
