A bottle of soda has a PH of 3.
After the beverage bottle is left open for several hours, the hydronuim ion concentration in the beverage solution decreases to 1/1000 of the original concentration. What is the new ph of the solution?​

Answer :

Answer:

The new pH of the solution [tex]= 6[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

pH of bottle of Soda is [tex]3[/tex]

As we know that

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

We will derive the hydrogen ion concentration when pH is [tex]3[/tex]

[tex]3 = -[/tex] log [H+]

Taking anti-log on both the sides, we get -

H+ ion is equal to [tex]10^{-3}[/tex]

When the hydronuim ion concentration reduces by [tex]\frac{1}{1000}[/tex] of the original concentration, the new hydrogen ion concentration becomes

[tex]\frac{1}{1000000} = 10^{-6}[/tex]

The new pH is

[tex]= - log [ 10^{-6}]\\= 6[/tex]
