Solution

The correct option is D 0.3
Volume =0.5 L
Mass of HCl=9.125 g
Molecular mass of HCl=36.5 g mol1
Concentration=MolesVolume=Given MassMolecular mass×VolumeConcentration=9.12536.5×0.5mol L1=12 M
The dissociation of HCl in aqueous medium is given by : HCl+H2OH3O++ClInitial: C 0 0Equilibrium: 0 C C.


[HCl]initially=[H+]eqb.=C[H+]=0.5 M
pH=log[H+]=log(0.5)=log2pH=0.3
