The pH of this solution is 1.487.
Explanation:
Since HCl is a strong acid, it completely dissociates into its respective ions when placed in water. In this case HCl ionizes to produce
As soon as we know that we're dealing with a strong acid, the pH can be obtained directly from the concentration of
All we have to do is take the -log of the given concentration like so:
