Question

What is the pH of a 3.5 x 10-5 M solution of HCl?

Answer 1

Answer:

4.46

Explanation:

Applying,

pH = -log(H⁺)....................... Equation 1

Where H⁺ = Hydrogen ion concentration of HCl solution

From the question,

Given: H⁺ =  3.5×10⁻⁵ M

Substitute these values into equation 1

pH = -log(3.5×10⁻⁵)

pH = 4.46

Hence the pH of HCl solution is 4.46
