ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
Here we have to calculate the \(\mathrm{pH}\) of scene \(\mathrm{B}\).
The two molecular scenes below depict the relative concentrations of \(\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}\) (purple) in solutions of the same volume
The \(\mathrm{pH}\) in scene \(\mathrm{A}\) is \(=4.8\)
It is known that the \(\mathrm{pH}\) of a solution is the negative logarithm of hydronium ion concentration.
