To calculate the pH of a liquid you need to know the concentration of hydrogen ions H+ in moles per liter of the liquid. The pH is then calculated using the logarithmic formula pH=-log10H+.  HCI is a strong acid with a hydrogen ion concentration of 0.0015 moles per liter. Find the pH of the HCI solution.  [Use log1015=1.17609125906]

To calculate the pH of a liquid you need to know the concentration of hydrogen ions H+ in moles per liter of the liquid. The pH is then calculated using the logarithmic formula pH=-log10H+. A solution is said to be neutral (neither an acid nor a base) if its pH  is 7 . Find the concentration of hydrogen ions which would be considered to be neutral.

The decibel scale measures the intensity of sound D using the equation D=10logI, where I is the intensity ratio of a sound.

On the decibel scale, the purr of a cat measures D=10log330=25.2(3 s.f) decibels.

Sound intensity is measured on a traffic light system:

Green: no ear protection needed. 1-75 DB

Orange: ear protection recommended. 80-120 DB

Red: ear protection necessary. 120+ DB. Calculate the sound intensity of the following noise and determine whether or not ear protection equipment is recommended or necessary. 

A Chainsaw has an intensity ratio of 1.04×1011.  [Use log1.04=0.0170333393]
