Jawaban : pH dari asam klorida adalah 0,69

Asam adalah senyawa yang melepaskan ion hidrogen. Asam klorida merupakan salah satu contoh dari asam kuat. Yang memiliki jumlah ion hidrogen ( valensi asam satu).

HCl →H⁺ + Cl⁻ , valensi asam (a) = 1

Menentukan pH asam kuat
[H⁺]= M x a
= 0,2 M x 1
= 2 x 10⁻¹M

pH = – log [H⁺] = – log 2 x 10⁻¹
= 1 – log 2
= 0,69

Jadi, pH dari asam klorida adalah 0,69.
