17. A solution has a pH of 10. What is the concentration of hydrogen ions [H^+] in the solution? A) 1times 10^-4 M B) 1times 10^-10 M D) 1times 10^-14 M P_(H)=-log([H]^4)/([AH]) C) 1times 10^-7 M

The correct answer is B) $1\times 10^{-10}$ M.<br /><br />The pH of a solution is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions $[H^{+}]$ in the solution. The pH is calculated using the formula:<br /><br />$pH = -log[H^{+}]$<br /><br />Given that the pH of the solution is 10, we can rearrange the formula to solve for $[H^{+}]$:<br /><br />$10 = -log[H^{+}]$<br /><br />Taking the antilog of both sides, we get:<br /><br />$[H^{+}] = 10^{-10}$ M<br /><br />Therefore, the concentration of hydrogen ions $[H^{+}]$ in the solution is $1\times 10^{-10}$ M.
