Question

Determine the pH of 0.050 M HNO3 solution. HNO3 is a strong acid.

Answer 1

1.30 is the pH balance

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 1.30

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

`pH=-\log [H^+]`

`pH+pOH=14`

Given: 0.050 M
`HNO_3`

`HNO_3\rightarrow H^++NO_3^-`

Concentration of
`H^+` = 0.050 M

`pH=-log[0.050M]`

`pH=1.30`

Thus pH of 0.050 M of
`HNO_3` is 1.30.
