4. Vomit 2.00 1.0×10^-2 1.0×10^-12
5. Blood 7.40 4.0×10^-9 2.5×10^-7

c. My Solution Mode

No. pH H 3 O+ OH-
1. 3 1.0×10^-3

2. Question
Calculate the pH of a solution that has a hydronium concentration of 7.1x10-2 M.

Answer:

pH = -log[H3O+]
pH = -log(7.1×10^-2)
pH = -log(0.071)
pH = 1.15

3. Conclusion
Write a conclusion about this virtual lab activity in 5-6 sentences.

In this virtual lab experiment, the macro and micro analysis of different solutions showed
their differences in acidity and basicity levels.
In the macro mode, Milk indicated a slightly Acidic nature at pH of 6.50 and others such as
chicken soup, orange juice, vomit indicated full time acidity but in different acidity levels.
Blood indicated a pH of 7.40 which is slightly Basic level.
In the micro mode, Milk indicated a more balanced concentration of hydronium and
hydroxide ions. Chicken soup presented a higher hydronium ion concentration, Orange juice
and Vomit demonstrated a very high hydronium concentration and very low hydroxide ion
concentration. Lastly, Blood indicated a very low hydronium concentration and hydroxide
ion concentration. In summary, this experiment provides valuable insights into their
different acidity and basicity levels in both macro and micro mode.
