The pH of a 0.01 M solution of HCl in water would be?

pH = - log[H+] so a 0.01 M solution of HCl has, pH= 2


What is the concentration of HCl if it makes a solution in water of pH 1.5?

Since pH=-log[H+], then [H+]=10-pH 10-1.5=.0316 And since HCl is a strong monoprotic acid, the [H+]=[HCl] So the concentration is approximately 0.0316M


What would be the effect of using sodium hydroxide to raise the pH after addition of hcl?

in small, dilute, quantities, it will just raise the pH.


When HCL is added to water why does the pH level drop so fast?

HCl is an acid. The hydrogen part of the molecule makes it so. A pH below 7 is acidic and a pH above 7 is basic. It makes sense that adding an acid to water would lower the pH.

If you add hydrochloric acid to water what effect would it have on the H plus concentration on the pH?

Hydrochloric acid is HCl. It is a H plus (H^+) donor, and so adding it to water will INCREASE the H^+ concentration. Increasing the H^+ concentration results in a DECREASE in pH.


What If enough water is added to 5 g of HCl to make 1 liter of solution what is the pH?

Find moles HCl. 5 g HCl (1 mole HCl/36.450 grams) = 0.1372 moles HCl Now, Molarity = moles of solute/Liters of solution Molarity = 0.1372 moles HCl/1 liter = 0.1372 M HCl Then. -log(0.1372 M HCl) = 0.9 pH ( you might call it 1, but pH can be off the scale ) -----------

What is the pH of 260M HCl?

.260 M of HCL, not 260 More than likely correct, but, - log(0.260 M HCl) = 0.6 pH ----------- ( pH can be below 1 )


What happens to the pH of distilled water when you add NaOH?
