Calculate the pH of a solution having the following ion concentrations at 298 K. [H+] = 4.6 × 10^-2 M

The pH of the solution is 1.34, being an acidic pH.

Explanation:

pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity that indicates the amount of hydrogen ions present in a solution or substance.   The acronym pH stands for hydrogen potential.

The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Values less than 7 indicate the acidity range and those greater than 7 indicate alkalinity or basicity. Value 7 is considered neutral. Mathematically, pH is the negative logarithm of the molar concentration of hydrogen or proton ions (H⁺) or hydronium ions (H₃O⁺).

pH= - log [H⁺] = - log [H₃O⁺]

In this case, [H⁺]= 4.6*10⁻² M. Replacing:

pH= - log 4.6*10⁻²

Solving:

pH= 1.34

The pH of the solution is 1.34, being an acidic pH.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.

the answer would be a
