Question

"Calculate the pH of an aqueous solution at 25°C that is (a) 0.15 M in HCl. 0.82 (b) 3.7 M in HNO3. -0.57 (c) 6.9 × 10−4 M in HClO4."

Answer 1

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The pH of a solution is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

For HCl

pH= - log[0.15] = 0.82

For HNO3

pH= -log[3.7] = -0.57

For HClO4

pH= - log [6.9 × 10^-4] = 3.16
