What is the pH of 0.010 M H2so4?

Given: Concentration of sulphuric acid = 0.01 M

To find: pH

Formula: pH = `-"log"_10["H"_3"O"^+]`

Calculation:

Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) is a strong acid. It dissociates almost completely in the water as:

\[\ce{H2SO4_{(aq)} + 2H2O_{(l)} -> 2H3O^+_{ (aq)} +  SO^{2-}_{4(aq)}}\]

Hence, [H3O+] = 2 × c = 2 × 0.01 M = 2 × 10-2 M

From formula (i),

pH = -log10[H3O+] = -log10[2 × 10-2] = `-"log"_10"2" - "log"_10"10"^-2`

= `-"log"_10"2" + 2 = 2 - 0.3010`

pH = 1.699

The pH of 0.01 M sulphuric acid is 1.699.

Solution

The correct option is C 1.7The concentration of H+ in the 0.01 M H2SO4 is =[H+]=2×0.01=2×10−2 ∴pH=−log(H+)=−log(2×10−2)=2−0.3=1.7

What is the pH of a 0.010 M?

A 0.010 M solution of hydrochloric acid, HCl, has a molarity of 0.010 M. This means that [H+] = 1 x 10-2 M. The pH of this aqueous solution of H+ ions is pH = 2.

What is the pH of a 0.001 M solution of H2SO4?

pH = 2.69 units.

How do you find the pH of 0.1 M H2SO4?

Explanation: And sulfuric acid is diprotic, and we could represent its reaction with water by the equation.... And so 0.1⋅mol⋅L−1 is 0.2⋅mol⋅L−1 with respect to H3O+ . And thus pH=−log10(0.2)=−(−0.699)=0.699 .

What is the pH of 0.00005 M H2SO4?

Therefore the pH value of a 0.005 molar aqueous solution of sulphuric acid is approximately 2.0. So, the correct answer is (D).
