Question

nter your answer in the provided box. Nitric acid (HNO3) is used in the production of fertilizer, dyes, drugs, and explosives. Calculate the pH of a HNO3 solution having a hydrogen ion concentration of 0.39 M. pH

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

pH = - log[ H⁺ ]

[ H⁺ ] = .39

pH = - log .39

= - log (39 x 10⁻²)

= 2 - log 39

= 2 - 1.59

= .4 1
