Calculating pH Using the [H_{3}O^{+}]

Determine the pH for the following solutions :

a.  [H_{3}O^{+}]=1.0 ×10^{-5}  M                           b.  [H_{3}O^{+}]=5×10^{-8}  M

a. Step 1 Enter the [H_{3}O^{+}].

pH=-log[1.0 ×10^{-5}]=1.0            \boxed{EE  or  EXP}              5   \boxed{+/-}   \overset{Calculator  Display}{1.0^{-05}      or      1.0  E-05}

Step 2 Press the log key and change the sign.

\boxed{log}                \boxed{+/- }                           5

Step 3 Adjust the number of SFs on the right of the decimal point to equal the SFs in the coefficient.

\begin{matrix} 1.0 &\times 10^{-5}&M &pH=5.00 \\Two   SFs&\longrightarrow &&Two  SFs  on  the  right  of  the  decimal  point \end{matrix}

b. Step 1 Enter the [H_{3}O^{+}]

.

pH=-log[5\times 10^{-8}] =5    \boxed{EE  or  EXP}      8    \boxed{+/- }        \overset{Calculator  Display}{5^{-08}      or      5  E-08 }

Step 2 Press the log key and change the sign

\boxed{log}                \boxed{+/- }                              7.301029

Step 3 Adjust the number of SFs on the right of the decimal point to equal the SFs in the coefficient.

\begin{matrix} 5 &\times 10^{-8}&M &pH=7.3 \\One   SFs&\longrightarrow &&One  SFs  on  the  right  of  the  decimal  point \end{matrix}
