Answer:

The pH is 1.08, being an acid pH

Explanation:

pH is a parameter used to measure the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a substance. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Values less than 7 indicate the acidity range and those greater than 7 indicate alkalinity or basicity. Value 7 is considered neutral. Mathematically, pH is the negative logarithm of the molar concentration of hydrogen or proton ions (H⁺) or hydronium ions (H₃O⁺).

pH= - log [H⁺]= - log [H₃O⁺]

A strong acid is an acid that completely dissociates into hydrogen ions and anions in solution. This implies that the initial concentration of acid is equal to the final concentration of H₃O⁺. This occurs with acid HCl.

So, pH is calculated as:

pH= - log (0.083)

pH= 1.08

Equations can be balanced by using the half-reaction method. Which step should be completed immediately after finding the oxidat

Dovator [93]

After finding the oxidation states of atoms, you identify the half reactions (option c).

The half reactions are given by the change of the oxidation states of the atoms.

For example if Cu is in the left side with oxidation state 0 and in the other side with oxidation state 2+, then there you have a half reaction (oxidation reaction). And if you have O with oxidation state 0 in the left side and with oxidation state 2- in the right side, there you have other half reaction (reducing reaction).
