What is the ph of a 0.0042 m hydrochloric acid solution?
a) 5.47
b) 11.62
c) 7.00
d) 8.53
e) 2.38

E) 2.38

Explanation:

The pH of any solution , helps to determine the acidic strength of the solution ,

i.e. ,

and ,

pH is given as the negative log of the concentration of H⁺ ions ,

hence ,

pH = - log H⁺

From the question ,

the concentration of the solution is 0.0042 M , and being it a strong acid , dissociates completely to its respective ions ,

Therefore , the concentration of H⁺ = 0.0042 M .

Hence , using the above equation , the value of pH can be calculated as follows -

pH = - log H⁺

pH = - log ( 0.0042 M )

pH =  2.38 .

so what is the problem with your lab report and whats the subject of the lab report? i will you
