Find the pH. What are the pH values for the following solutions? (a) 0.1 M HCl (b) 0.1 M NaOH (c) 0.05 M HCl (d) 0.05 M NaOH

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we define the pH in terms of the concentration of hydronium ions as:

Which is directly computed for the strong hydrochloric acid (consider a complete dissociation which means the concentration of hydronium equals the concentration of acid) in (a) and (c) as shown below:

(a)

(b)

Nevertheless, for the strong sodium hydroxide, we don't directly compute the pH but the pOH since the concentration of base equals the concentration hydroxyl in the solution:

Thus, we have:

(b)

(d)
