What is an example of the pH of a solution that has a concentration of hydrochloric acid equal to 0.001M?

A hydrochloric acid solution with a concentration of 0.001M has a pH of 3 (approximately). This is because hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that completely dissociates in water to release H+ ions, contributing to the acidity of the solution.

Are protein soluble in diluted Hydrochloric acid?

protein will have a net positive charge due to the protonation of all basic side chains (NH3+) in its structure therefore it will be soluble. If there is a charge at the protein surface, the protein prefers to interact with water, rather than with other protein molecules so makes it more soluble.


Is hydrochloric a base?
