Can you share the working? And also the original q? 0.01 /0.05 ka log is -0.7 Putting what you said in the equation does not give you 9.56 If you are doing something quickly, gotta cross check like this too :)

I did some approximations -1.9= log 2x/0.05 was created iirc

dekh bhai ratio aata hai 0.3 which is log 2 if you are going to approximate when it is not needed risky hai :D isiliye bola do on pen and paper properly or if not, use calci ignore the math i did xD please do this bit that anti log 0.3 is 2 (Edit ulta likha tha upar. My b) usse ho jayega mujhe lagta hai

But it is not right. The substitution. Padh le upar bhai Log ka calculator se kar :D one needs to be solid with math tools to make ionic calc work. 1. See your hand written last step. 2. Use calc to do this. And please close this out post that :)

Yep. That’s the answer. 0.0125

ig the best approach is to take -0.3 as log (1/2) gives exactly 0.0125 4 decimal places anyways thanx 0.025 is confirmed wrong then +solved @iTeachChem
