Determine the hydronium ion concentration in a solution that is 0.00039 M HCl. Answer in units of M.
what is .00039M?
for each HCl ionized, there is one H+
To determine the hydronium ion concentration in a solution of HCl, we need to consider that HCl is a strong acid that completely dissociates in water.
HCl → H+ + Cl-
This means that for every one molecule of HCl that dissolves in water, it will produce one hydronium ion (H+) and one chloride ion (Cl-).
In this case, the concentration of HCl is given as 0.00039 M. Since HCl completely dissociates, the concentration of hydronium ions (H+) in the solution will also be 0.00039 M.
So, the hydronium ion concentration in the solution is 0.00039 M.
