Answer: The pH of the solution is 1.92
Explanation:
To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:
[tex]pH=-\log[H^+][/tex]
We are given:
Hydrochloric acid is a monoprotic acid and it dissociates 1 mole of hydrogen ions. So, the concentration of hydrogen ions is [tex]1.20\times 10^{-2}M[/tex]
[tex][H^+]=1.20\times 10^{-2}M[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]pH=-\log(1.20\times 10^{-2})\\\\pH=1.92[/tex]
Hence, the pH of the solution is 1.92
