To calculate the pH of a solution of HNO3 with a concentration of 0.010 mol/L, we can assume that all of the HNO3 dissociates into H+ ions.
Since HNO3 is a strong acid, it completely dissociates in water:
HNO3 → H+ + NO3-
Therefore, the concentration of H+ ions in the solution is 0.010 mol/L.
Since the pH is defined as the negative logarithm (base 10) of the H+ concentration, we can calculate it as follows:
pH = -log10(0.010)
= -log10(1 × 10^-2)
= -(-2) [Using the property: log10 (a^-b) = -b log10(a)]
= 2
So, the pH of the solution is pH = 2.
given that HNo2 is a stron acid and k3(CH3Cooh = 1.75 * 10^-5
