Answer:

The pH of the solution is 1.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The pH gives us an idea of the acidity or basicity of a solution. More precisely, it indicates the concentration of H30 + ions present in said solution. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14: from 0 to 7 corresponds to acid solutions, 7 neutral solutions and between 7 and 14 basic solutions. It is calculated as:

pH = -log (H30 +)

The concentration of the H30+ ions is 0,1M:

pH= -log (0,1)

pH=1.00
