Answer: The pH of the solution is 1.49

Step-by-step explanation:

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

To calculate the pH of the reaction, we use the equation:

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

where,

[H^+]=3.26* 10^(-2)M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=-\log(3.26* 10^(-2))\\\\pH=1.49$

Hence, the pH of the solution is 1.49
