Question 13
Step1: Recall pH - hydrogen ion concentration relation
The pH scale is logarithmic. The formula for pH is $pH=-\log[H^+]$, where $[H^+]$ is the hydrogen - ion concentration. Pure water has a pH of 7, so $[H^+]_{water}=10^{-7}\ M$. If a substance has a hydrogen - ion concentration 1000 times higher than pure water, then $[H^+] = 1000\times10^{-7}=10^{-4}\ M$. Using the pH formula, $pH =-\log(10^{-4}) = 4$.
Step2: Identify substance with pH = 4
From the given figure, acid rain has a pH of approximately 4.
By definition, electrically charged atoms or combinations of atoms are called ions. Monatomic ions are single - atom ions (e.g., $Na^+$, $Cl^-$), and polyatomic ions are ions made up of more than one atom (e.g., $NO_3^-$, $SO_4^{2 -}$).
