Calculate the pH of 0.01 M HCl solution

A. 2

B. 4

C. 6

D. 8

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

HCl is a strong acid and it dissociates into ions completely.
HCl (aq) 0.01 M → H+ (0.01 M) + Cl (0.01 M)
[H+ (aq)] = 0.01 M = 1 × 10-2
pH = - log10 [H+ (aq)]
pH= - log10 [1 × 10-2]
therefore pH = 2
