A lab assistant prepared a solution by adding a calculated quantity of HCl gas 25°C to get a solution with [H3O+] = 4 x 105 M. Is the solution neutral (or) acidic (or) basic. |

Answer» [H3O+] = 4 x M pH = – log10 [H3O+] pH = – 1og10 [4 x 105] pH = – log10 [4] – log10 [10-5] pH = – 0.6020 – ( – 5) = – 0.6020 + 5 pH = 4.398 Therefore, the solution is acidic. |
