Explanation Formula used: The formula of pH is given by, pH = − log [ H + ] Calculation: Consider the given concentration. [ H + ] = 2.1 × 10 − 7 Substitute 2.1 × 10 − 7 for [ H + ] in the above equation to obtain the value of pH To determine b) To find: The pH of the soil if the hydrogen ion concentration is 2.1 × 10 − 5 , and find whether the potatoes plant should be planted or not with reason.

Drinking water is treated with fluoride before it is made available to the public. The ideal level is 0.7 ppm. A 20,000 gallon mixing tank is half full and contains 2 lb of fluoride. Fresh water enters from the lake at 2 gallons per minute. If the tank is dis- charged at 1 gallon per minute, how many pounds of fluoride is in the tank the moment it is full? Is it safe to drink using the conversion 1 lb/gal (US) = 119826 ppm?

Historical data shows that the temperature of a particular pipe in a normally-operating continuous production line is (94 ±5)° C You glance at the control display and see that T = 87° C. How abnormal is this measurement?
