What is the pH of 1 molar HCl solution? (assume complete dissociation)
Options
- A1
- B2
- CZero
- D7
Correct answer
C. Zero
Step-by-step solution
HCl is a strong acid and dissociates completely in water. HCl H^+ + Cl^- For a 1 M solution of HCl, the concentration of hydrogen ions is: [H^+] = 1 M pH = - ₁₀[H^+] pH = - ₁₀(1) = 0 Answer: Zero
