Calculate the pH of solution produced by dissolving 0.001 moles of HNO₃ in a liter of water. Assume complete dissociation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pH of a solution is calculated using the formula pH = -log[H+], where [H+] is the concentration of hydrogen ions. Since 0.001 moles of HNO3 are dissolved in 1 liter of water, the concentration of H+ ions is 0.001 M. Therefore, pH = -log(0.001) = 3.0.
