It solely depends on H+ concentration: each HCl gives one H+ ,

to calculate use pH = -log[H+]

So,

at [HCl]=1.0 >> pH= 0.0

at [HCl]=0.5 >> pH= 0.7

at [HCl]=0.1 >> pH= 1.0

at [HCl]=1.0*10-5 >> pH= 5.0

but don't ever use this simplified 'acid pH' calculus method when the answer comes close to (or exceeds) 6.5, 7 or 8 etc.

What is the pH number for dilute hydrochloric acid?

Dilute hydrochloric acid typically has a pH around 1 to 2.


What is the hydrochloric acid pH scale?

HCl is a very strong acid: dilute solution (eg. 3.65 g/L) has pH of 1.0 , or when concentration is 3.65 mg/L then pH = 4.0.


What is stomach acid?

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

Adding sodium hydroxide to a solution after the addition of hydrochloric acid will neutralize the acid and increase the pH of the solution. Sodium hydroxide is a strong base and will react with the hydrochloric acid to form water and salt, raising the pH of the solution towards neutral.


What pH level is Hydrochloric acid?

pH depends on the concentration of the acid as well as how strong it is. A 1.0M solution ( a measure of the number of molecules per liter) has a pH of 0 but a more dilute solution will have a higher (less acidic pH).

What colour is hydrochloric acid on a pH scale?

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, so it has a pH less than 7, typically around 0 to 2. On the pH scale, it would appear as a strong acid with a low pH value, but it doesn't have a specific color.


What is the pH value of dilute hydrochloric acid?

This depends on concentration AND typeExample: pH = 1.0 for 0.10 mol/L acids which are strong and monoprotic (like HCl and HNO3)0.10 mol/L Acetic acid (weak, pKa=4.77) pH will be about 2.4 (in stead of 1.0 , if it were strong)
