I'm having difficulty with the following problem using my Sharp EL-501x calculator:
What are the [H30+] and [OH-] of a beer that has a pH of 4.7?
I've followed the steps in the textbook exactly: I entered 4.7, then +/-, then '2nd function', then 10^x. I got 0.000019952, not even close to the answer in the text: 2.5 x 10^-5. My calculator doesn't have an 'inv' button so I can't use the optional 'inv' - 'log' method. Can anyone help?
It's not covered in the instruction manual.
