What is the pH of 1 mole of HCl?

pH = -log[H+]

That is, the pH of a solution is the negative log of the concentration of hydrogen atoms. The concentration of hydrogen atoms must be in units of Molarity, or moles per liter. In order to determine the pH of a solution containing 1 mole of HCl, you must also know the volume of the solution.

I am assuming the question is: What is the pH of 1M HCl, and not 1 mole. 1 mole HCl is simply the mass in grams of the atomic weight of H and Cl: 1+35.45=36.45. This is not a unit of concentration and if that is truly the question then the answer is undefined.

Molarity on the other hand, and other units of concentration, are completely independent of total amount of solution (volume or mass): molarity (M)= moles/Liters

HCl is a strong acid. This means that all of those acid hydrogens are releasing into solution and therefore the calculation is very simple:

pH of strong acid= -log[H+] 1M HCl= 1M[H+] + 1M[Cl-] pH=-log[1]= 0

You use this formula. PH = - log [H+]. And this is a strong acid so it dissolve absolutely into H+.

P/s: the answer is 6

What is the pH of a 0.1 mole per liter HCl solution?

1 (one).


What has the pH of 1?

pH=1 means the solution contains 0.1 mole per liter H+ ions. Strong acids like hydrochloric acid (HCl) or sulfuric acid (H2SO4) dissociate completely in water so 0.1 mole of HCl (= 3,65 g per liter) has a pH=1. For sulfuric acid 0.1 mole = 9.8 g per liter give pH =1


Show my the pH chart by strong and weak acid?

A strong acid completely dissociates into an H+ ion and an anion. pH is defined as pH = -log(H+ concentration) So if you have 0.01 mole hydrochloric acid (HCl) per 1 mole solution, since each mole HCl contributes a mole of H+ and a mole of Cl- then you would have H+ concentration of 0.01 pH = -log(0.01) = -(-2) = 2, so the pH = 2 Note that higher H+ concentrations result in lower pH number


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 a solution that contains 0.10 mole of HCI in a voulme of 100.0l?

100 Liters? I will assume as much. Molarity = moles of solute/Liters of solution Molarity = 0.10 mole HCl/100.0 Liters = 0.001 M HCl -------------------------now, to find pH - log(0.001 M HCl) = 3 pH -----------------so, your acid is of 3 pH, which is to be expected at the volume od solution


What is the concetration of 400 ml of 0.5 M HCl?

Since the molecular weight of HCl is 36.46g/mole, 1 mole of HCl contains 36.46g. 1 liter of a 0.5M solution will have 18.23g of HCl. 400 ml will have 7.292g of HCl.

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 )
