Question

A solution of HCl has mc012-1.jpg = 0.01 M. What is the pH of this solution?

Answer 1

pH = -log10 [H+]. So anwer 2 pH

Answer 2

Answer: The pH of the 0.02 M HCl solution is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pH of the solution is defined as negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.

`pH=-\log[H^+]`

The pH of the HCl solution of 0.01 Molar willbe :

`HCl(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq)+Cl^-(aq)`

0.01 Molar of HCl will produce 0.01 M of
`[H^+]` ions.

`[H^+]=0.01 M`

`pH=-\log[H^+]=-\log[0.01]=2`

The pH of the 0.02 M HCl solution is 2.
