The concentration of nitric acid HNO₃ solution

= 0.63g in 100 ml

= 6.3g per litre

= 0.1 moles per litre [ As mol. wt of HNO₃ = 63 ]

= 10⁻¹ M

Now, HNO₃ completely ionizes as

HNO₃ + H₂O ===>> H₃O⁺ + NO₃⁻

[ H₃O⁺ ] = [ HNO₃ ] = 10⁻¹ M

So, pH = - log [ H₃O⁺ ]

pH = - log [ 10⁻¹ ]

pH = 1

Answer:

Explanation:

See

the molar mass of HNO3 = 63 g/mole

So 0.063 g is 0.063/63 = 10^-3 moles in 1 liter = 10^-3 M.

And the H+ concentration is also 10^-3 M because HNO3 is a strong acid.

In water [H+]*[OH-] = 10^-14 M^2 = Kw. So [OH- ]= 10^-14 / [H+] = 10^-14 / 10^-3 = 10^-11 M

therefore

pH= - log[H+]

=3
