Question

An HCl solution has a concentration of 9.8 x 10-5 M. What is the pH of this solution

Answer 1

c=9.8*10⁻⁵

pH=-lg[H⁺]

HCl = H⁺ + Cl⁻

[H⁺]=c

pH=-lg(9.8*10⁻⁵)=4.0

pH=4.0

Answer 2

pH of the given HCl solution is 4.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Concentration of HCl solution = 9.8*10⁻⁵ M

To determine:

The pH of the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

pH of a solution refers to the concentration of H+ ions which in turn reflects the acidity of the solution

pH is related to the H+ concentration as follows:

`pH = -log[H+} \\\\For\ the \ given\ HCl\ solution\\\\pH = -log(9.8*10^(-5)) = 4.00`
