How many Hydrogen ions are in aqueous form in in a lactic acid solution of pH 5.5 of 1 mL?
PH = 5.5
-log[H+] = 5.5
[H+] = 10^-5.5
= 3.16*10^-6M
no of moles of H+ = molarity * volume in L
= 3.16*10^-6*0.001 =3.16*10^-9moles
no of H+ ions = no of moles * 6.023*10^23
= 3.16*10^-9*6.023*10^23 = 1.9*10^15 hydrogen ions
