What is the pH of a 1.2 x 103 M solution nitric acid solution?

OpenStudy (rzlearner):

Yeah I don't know either? n.n lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah it's weird

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how to find a person who knows, I'm new to this

@cj49

OpenStudy (cj49):

sorry mate have not idea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:(

@inkyvoyd

OpenStudy (rzlearner):

yeah this seems like more of a chemistry question...at least thats what google tells me lol. Sorry we can't be of more help! :0

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

nitric acid is a strong acid so it dissociates completely

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

so ph is defined as the -log_10 [H+]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok...

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

for nitric acid because it is HNO3 it only has one hydrogetn so essentially the concentration of hydrogen ions you have is the given 1.2 x 10^-3 M (I played around with te nubmers since what you gave didn't make sense) to find the ph simply take the negative log base 10 of your expression

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So apparently the original question is unsolvable? :/

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

pleas take a screencap of the original question so I can look at it... copy paste is messin gup the formatting

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the pH of a 1.2 x 10^3 M solution nitric acid solution? I think I missed the ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whoops

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

ar eyou sur eit isn't -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100% sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This was written by a teacher so perhaps it's a mistake?

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

yes. it should be -3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll let her know

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

anwayays you just take log(1.2 x 10^-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sounds good

OpenStudy (rzlearner):

Make sure that teacher gets what coming to her ;) lol. Demand that freaking A! x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Will do lol
