Answer: 1.05
Explanation:
pH is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
i.e pH = -log (H+)
Since hydrogen ion ( H+) concentration = 8.8 x 10^-2 M = 0.088M
Thus, pH = -log (0.088M)
pH = - ( -1.055)
pH = 1.055
pH = 1.05 (pH value is rounded to 2 decimals)
Thus, the substance is strongly acidic since its pH is 1.05.
