Answer

6.02 x $10^{13}$ H+ ions.

Work Step by Step

1. Based on the pH of pure water, find the concentration of $H^{+}$. pH of pure water: 7 [H+] = $10^{-pH}$ [H+] = $10^{-7}$ mol/l 2. Calculate the amount of mols in 1 ml of pure water. Concentration = nº of moles $\div$ volume(L) $10^{-7}$ = $\frac{x}{0.001}$ 0.001 x $10^{-7}$ = x x = $10^{-10}$ mol. 3. With the number of moles of H+, find the amount of ions. nº of atoms (ions) = nº of moles $\times$ 6.02 $\times$ $10^{23}$ nº of atoms (ions) = $10^{-10}$ $\times$ 6.02 $\times$ $10^{23}$ nº of ions = 6.02 $\times$ $10^{13}$
