A strong monoprotic acid has a concentration of 0.001 mol·dm⁻³. What is the pH of the solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D.
- Step 1: A strong monoprotic acid ionises completely, so mol·dm⁻³.
- Step 2: .
Answer
.
Why not the others: : this is the pOH, not the pH. : the exponent was misread by one. : the exponent was misread by one.
