To determine the pH of 1.0 M HNO3, we need to consider the dissociation of the acid in water.
HNO3 → H+ + NO3-
Since HNO3 is a strong acid, it completely dissociates in water. Therefore, 1.0 M HNO3 will produce 1.0 M H+ ions in the solution.
pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of H+ ions in a solution. Thus, the pH of 1.0 M HNO3 is:
pH = -log(1.0) = 0
