Calculate the pH of each solution at 25∘C
1.0 x 10^-5 M HCl pH =
0.1 M HNO3 pH =
1.0 x 10^-5 M NaOH pH =
0.01 M KOH pH =

pH of HCl =5, HNO3 = 1,

NaOH = 9, KOH = 12

Explanation:

pH = -log [H+ ]

1. 1.0 x 10^-5 M HCl

pH = - log (1.0 x 10^-5)

= 5 - log 1 = 5

2. 0.1 M HNO3

pH = - log (1.0 x 10 ^ -1)

pH = 1 - log 1 = 1

3. 1.0 x 10^-5 NaOH

pOH = - log (1.0 x 10^-5)

pOH = 5 - log 1 = 5

pH + pOH = 14

Therefore , pH = 14 - 5 = 9

4. 0.01 M KOH

pOH = - log ( 1.0 x 10^ -2)

= 2 - log 1 = 2

pH + pOH = 14

Therefore, pH = 14 - 2 = 12
