To calculate the pH of a 0.1 M solution of hydrochloric acid  HCl , we can use the formula:pH = -log10[H+]Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, which means it completely dissociates in water, releasing one hydrogen ion  H+  for each molecule of HCl. Therefore, the concentration of H+ ions in a 0.1 M HCl solution is also 0.1 M.Now, we can plug this value into the formula:pH = -log10 0.1 pH = - -1 pH = 1So, the pH of a 0.1 M solution of hydrochloric acid is 1.
