Answer:

The answer to your question is: pH = 1.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

mass = 0.73 g of HCl

volume = 500 ml = 0.5 l

MW HCl = 36.5 g

36.5 g of HCl ------------------- 1 mol

0.73 g -------------------- x

x = (0.73 x 1) / 36.5

x = 0.019 mol

Molarity = 0.019 / 0.5

Molarity = 0.038

pH = -log [H+]

pH = - log [0-038]

pH = 1.42
