Question

What is the pH of a 0.00530 M solution of HCI?

Answer 1

2.28

Step-by-step explanation:

HCl(l) ===> H+ + cl-

HCl is a very strong acid. Almost all of it will decompose to the right. That means the concentration of H+ is 0.00530

pH = - log [H+]

pH = - log[0.00530]

pH = - - 2.2757

pH = 2.2757

Rounded this 2.28
