Solution
The hydrogen ion concentration in the given substances can be calculated by using the given relation:
pH = –log [H+]
(i) pH of milk = 6.8
Since, pH = –log [H+]
6.8 = –log [H+]
log [H+] = –6.8
[H+] = anitlog(–6.8)
`= 1.5 xx 10^(-7) :M"`
(ii) pH of black coffee = 5.0
Since, pH = –log [H+]
5.0 = –log [H+]
log [H+] = –5.0
[H+] = anitlog(–5.0)
= 10-5 M
(iii) pH of tomato juice = 4.2
Since, pH = –log [H+]
4.2 = –log [H+]
log [H+] = –4.2
[H+] = anitlog(–4.2)
`= 6.31 xx 10^(-5)`M
iv) pH of lemon juice = 2.2
Since, pH = –log [H+]
2.2 = –log [H+]
log [H+] = –2.2
[H+] = anitlog(–2.2)
`= 6.31 xx 10^(-3)`M
(v) pH of egg white = 7.8
Since, pH = –log [H+]
7.8 = –log [H+]
log [H+] = –7.8
[H+] = anitlog(–7.8)
`= 1.58 xx 10^(-8)`M

Assertion (A): Increasing order of acidity of hydrogen halides is \[\ce{HF < HCl < HBr < HI}\]
Reason (R): While comparing acids formed by the elements belonging to the same group of periodic table, \[\ce{H - A}\] bond strength is a more important factor in determining acidity of an acid than the polar nature of the bond.
