Question 5 • Chemistry

A solution of HCl has open bracket cap h raised to the plus power close bracket is equal to 0 point 0 1 cap m What is the pH of this solution? Use pH is equal to negative log times open bracket cap h sub 3 cap o raised to the plus power close bracket

Answer
A
negative 1
B
negative 2
C
2
D
1

Explanation

For HCl, the hydrogen-ion concentration is 0.01 M, which is the same concentration used for H₃O⁺ in the pH formula. Since 0.01 = 10⁻², pH = −log(10⁻²) = 2, so the correct choice is 2.
