The pH value of a 0.1 N HCl solution is approximately:

  1. 1.0
  2. 11.0
  3. 10
  4. 2.0
సమాధానం చూపించు & వివరణ

సమాధానం: (A) 1.0

వివరణ

HCl fully ionises, so [H⁺] = 0.1 mol/L and pH = 1.

  • (A) సరైనది

    Correct: [H⁺] = 0.1 M, so pH = −log(0.1) = 1.

  • (B) తప్పు

    Wrong: pH 11 is basic; HCl is a strong acid.

  • (C) తప్పు

    Wrong: pH 10 is basic.

  • (D) తప్పు

    Wrong: pH 2 would be 0.01 M HCl.
