What is the pH of a 0.025M solution of Hydrobromic Acid?

1 answer

The pH of a solution of hydrobromic acid can be determined using the formula:

pH = -log[H+]

Hydrobromic acid (HBr) dissociates completely in water to produce hydrogen ions (H+).

Since the concentration of hydrobromic acid in the solution is 0.025 M, the concentration of hydrogen ions is also 0.025 M.

pH = -log(0.025) ≈ 1.60

Therefore, the pH of a 0.025 M solution of hydrobromic acid is approximately 1.60.
