Determine the pH of a solution of 0.00278 M of HClO4. Report the answer to two digits past the decimal.

The pH of a solution of 0.00278 M of HClO₄ is 2.56

Explanation:

pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity that indicates the amount of hydrogen ions present in a solution or substance and is calculated as:

pH= - log [H⁺]= - log [H₃O⁺]

On the other hand , a Strong Acid is that acid that in an aqueous solution dissociates completely. In other words, a strong acid completely dissociates into hydrogen ions and anions in solution.

HClO₄ is a strong acid, so in aqueous solution it will be  totally dissociated. Then, the concentration of protons is equal to the initial concentration of  acid and the pH will be calculated:

pH= - log 0.00278

pH= 2.56

The pH of a solution of 0.00278 M of HClO₄ is 2.56

b is the correct

why is arctic sea ice important? arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and moderate global climate. sea ice has a bright surface; 80 percent of the sunlight that strikes it is reflected back into space. as sea ice melts in the summer, it exposes the dark ocean surface.
