The label of an energy drink states that it contains approximately 80 mg of caffeine (C8H10N4O2) per 250 mL serving. If the caffeine is a weak base with a basicity constant of 2.5 × × 10-4, what is the pH of the drink? (Only caffeine is considered to contribute to the pH of the drink.)
The acidity of a solution is measured by its pH.
