What is the pH of 6.0 * 10-3 M HCl?
Question:
What is the pH of {eq}6.0 \times 10^{-3} {/eq}M HCl?
Strong acids
Strong acids are compounds which dissociate completely in solution forming a cationic hydrogen and an anion.
A general dissociation reaction for a strong acid can be described by the expression:
{eq}HA \rightarrow H^{+} + A^{-} {/eq}.
There are only seven strong acids namely {eq}HCl, HBr, HI, HNO_{3}, H_{2}SO_{4}, HClO_{4}, \text{and} HCl_{3} {/eq}.
