Answer:

1.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, that is, an acid that dissociates completely, according to the following reaction.

HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

Then, the concentration of H⁺ will be equal to the initial concentration of the acid, i.e., 0.10 M.

We can calculate the pH using the following expression.

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 0.10 = 1.0
