Answer:
The pH of a solution of 0.00278 M of HClO₄ is 2.56
Explanation:
pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity that indicates the amount of hydrogen ions present in a solution or substance and is calculated as:
pH= - log [H⁺]= - log [H₃O⁺]
On the other hand , a Strong Acid is that acid that in an aqueous solution dissociates completely. In other words, a strong acid completely dissociates into hydrogen ions and anions in solution.
HClO₄ is a strong acid, so in aqueous solution it will be totally dissociated. Then, the concentration of protons is equal to the initial concentration of acid and the pH will be calculated:
pH= - log 0.00278
pH= 2.56
The pH of a solution of 0.00278 M of HClO₄ is 2.56
