- K Consider a situation in which acid rain has heavily polluted a lake to a level of pH 4. An unscrupulous chemical company dumps some acid into the lake illegally. Assume that the lake contains 250 million gallons of water and that the company dumps 250,000 gallons of acid with pH 2. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. What is the hydrogen ion conentration, [H*], of the lake polluted by acid rain alone? 4 10 (Type your answer using exponential notation.) b. Suppose that the unpolluted lake, without acid rain, would have a pH of 7. If the lake were then polluted by company acid alone (no acid rain), what hydrogen ion concentration [H], would it have?
