The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.
- <u><em>Therefore the pH of an HCl solution is 1.52.</em></u>
Explanation:
<u>pH:</u>
It is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration,a measure of acidity or the alkalinity of a solution.
(or)
The negative logarithmic function of the hydrogen ion concentration is called the pH.
The formula for the pH is as follows:
<u>pH = -log [</u><u>]</u>
pH less than 7 indicates that solution is acidic
pH greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic
Given:
hydrogen ion concentration [] = 0.03 = 3 ×
To calculate:
pH of a solution
We know;
<u>pH = -log [</u><u>]</u>
<u>where,</u>
<u></u> represents the hydrogen ion concentration
pH = -log [3×10^-2]
pH = 1.52
Therefore the pH of a solution is 1.52
<u><em>Therefore the pH of an HCl solution is 1.52.</em></u>
