given that HNo2 is a stron acid and k3(CH3Cooh = 1.75 * 10^-5 0.010mol CH3COOHwhat is the ph calcuate the ph
To calculate the pH, we need to determine the concentration of H+ ions in the solution.
Since HNO2 is a strong acid, it fully dissociates in water to form H+ ions and NO2- ions. Therefore, the concentration of H+ ions is equal to the concentration of HNO2, which is given as 0.010 mol.
The pH is defined as the negative logarithm (base 10) of the H+ concentration. So, pH = -log[H+].
Substituting the concentration of H+ ions into the equation, we get:
pH = -log(0.010)
Using a calculator, we can find that the pH is approximately 2.
Therefore, the pH of the solution is 2.
