Answer:

The answer is

0.38

Step-by-step explanation:

HCL is a strong acid and therefore undergo complete dissociation

We have


HCL \rarr H^( + ) \: + \: Cl^( - )

The concentration of Hydrogen ion is also 0.415 M

The pH of a solution can be found by using the formula


pH = - log( {H }^( + ) )

So we have


pH = - log(0.415) \\ = 0.381951903...

We have the final answer as

0.38

Hope this helps you
