Answer:

pH of the solution is 8.25 (≅8.3)

Explanation:

Given:

H3O+ ion concentration = 5.6*10⁻⁹ M

To determine:

pH of the given solution

Explanation:

pH is related to the hydronium ion concentration as follows:

[tex]pH = -log[H3O+]\\[/tex]

For the given solution

[tex]pH = -log[5.6*10^{-9}] = 8.25[/tex]
