A solution of hydrochloric acid had a hydrogen ion concentration of 1.0 mol/dm3

Water was added to hydrochloric acid until the ph increased by 1
What was the hydrogen ion concentration of the hydrochloric acid after had been added?

Answer:

pH = -log[H+]

Where [H+] = Hydrogen ion concentration

In this case,

[H+] = 1 × 10^(-2) = 10^(-2)

log{10^(-2)} = -2

-log{10^(-2)} = -(-2) = 2

pH = -log{10^(-2)} = 2

and hi.!!!

Answer:

0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen ion concentration can be calculated using the formula [H+] = 10^-pH

pH can be concentrated using ph = -log[H+]

let's calculate the initial pH before anything was added: pH = -log(1) = 0

it increased by 1 so the final pH is 1.

Now we'll find the [H+] of a solution with a pH of 1:

concentration = 10^(-1) = 0.1
