What is the ph of a HCl solution with a concentration of 2.51x10^-5M

Answer :

MAACASTROBRIN

Answer:

pH = 4.6

Explanation:

As hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid, the molar concentration of H⁺ species is the same as the molar concentration of the HCl solution. In other words:

  • [H⁺] = 2.51x10⁻⁵ M

With the information above in mind we can calculate the pH:

  • pH = -log[H⁺]
  • pH = -log(2.51x10⁻⁵ M)
  • pH = 4.6
