What is the pH of HNO3?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the pH value of nitric acid (HNO3). To find the pH, we need to understand its concentration because HNO3 is a strong acid that fully dissociates in water. The pH can be calculated using the formula pH = -log[H+], where [H+] is the concentration of hydrogen ions produced in solution.
Answer
1.478
The final answer is 1.478

The final answer is 1.478
More Information
Nitric acid (HNO3) is a strong acid, dissociating completely in water to release hydrogen ions, which determine the pH.
