Answer:
HCl → H+ + Cl-
pH = -log[H+] = 1.469
Explanation:
Strong acid doesn't establish equilibrium. To determine the pH of a strong acid, the concentration of the acid is equal to the concentration of the hydrogen ion, so take the -log[H+], which will give you the pH. And you can see that it is a small number, and that's because HCl is a strong acid.
