Given:

pH = 4.2 of tomato

Required:

hydrogen-ion concentration [H+]| for tomato juice

Solution:

The formula for the pH relating hydrogen ion concentration is pH = -log[H+] where H+ is the hydrogen ion concentration. so, substitute the value of pH

pH = -log[H+]

4 = - log[H+]

-4 = log[H+]

10^-4 = [H+]

[H+] = 1x10^-4M
