Answer:
Number of moles = 0.0005 mol.
Explanation:
Given data:
pH = 3
Volume of solution = 500 mL
Number of moles = ?
Solution:
HCl dissociate to gives H⁺ and Cl⁻
HCl → H⁺ + Cl⁻
It is known that,
pH = -log [H⁺]
3 = -log [H⁺]
[H⁺] = 10⁻³ M
[H⁺] = 0.001 M
Number of moles of HCl:
Molarity = number of moles / Volume in litter
Number of moles = Molarity × Volume in litter
Number of moles = 0.001 mol/L × 0.5 L
Number of moles = 0.0005 mol
