The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The pH is calculated as:
\[ \text{pH} = -\log_{10} [\text{H}^+] \] Given \([\text{H}^+] = 10^{-3} \, \text{M}\): \[ \text{pH} = -\log_{10} (10^{-3}) = -(-3) = 3 \] Thus, option (1) is correct.
\[ \text{pH} = -\log_{10} [\text{H}^+] \] Given \([\text{H}^+] = 10^{-3} \, \text{M}\): \[ \text{pH} = -\log_{10} (10^{-3}) = -(-3) = 3 \] Thus, option (1) is correct.
