The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.
- Therefore the pH of an HCl solution is 1.52.
Explanation:
pH:
It is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration,a measure of acidity or the alkalinity of a solution.
(or)
The negative logarithmic function of the hydrogen ion concentration is called the pH.
The formula for the pH is as follows:
pH = -log [[tex]H^{+}[/tex]]
pH less than 7 indicates that solution is acidic
pH greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic
Given:
hydrogen ion concentration [[tex]H^{+}[/tex]] = 0.03 = 3 ×[tex]10^{-2}[/tex]
To calculate:
pH of a solution
We know;
pH = -log [[tex]H^{+}[/tex]]
where,
[tex]H^{+}[/tex] represents the hydrogen ion concentration
pH = -log [3×10^-2]
pH = 1.52
Therefore the pH of a solution is 1.52
Therefore the pH of an HCl solution is 1.52.
