Answer:

0.44

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the pH of any acid solution is given by the negative logarithm of its hydrogen ion concentration. Hence, if I can obtain the hydrogen ion concentration of any acid, I can obtain its pH.

For the acid, HNO3, [H^+] = [NO3^-]= 0.36 M

pH= -log [H^+]

pH= - log[0.36]

pH= 0.44
