Question

What is the pH of a 2.5 x 10-5 M solution of HCI?

Answer 1

Answer:

The pH of the solution is 4.60.

Explanation:

The pH gives us an idea of the acidity or basicity of a solution. More precisely, it indicates the concentration of H30 + ions present in said solution. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14: from 0 to 7 corresponds to acid solutions, 7 neutral solutions and between 7 and 14 basic solutions. It is calculated as:

pH = -log (H30 +)

pH= -log (2,5 x 10-5)

pH=4.60
