5. The pH of an acidic solution is a measure of the concentration of the acid particles in the solution,
with smaller values of the pH indicating higher acid concentration. In a laboratory experiment, the
pH of a certain acid solution is changed by dissolving over-the-counter antacid tablets into the
solution. In this experiment, the pH changes according to the equation
⎛ x ⎞
pH = 5.0 + log ⎜
⎟,
⎝ 0.1 − x ⎠
where x is the number of grams of antacid added to the solution. Use a graphing utility to graph the
pH function on the interval 0 < x < 0.1.
