Hi, can someone please explain this to me: Hydrochloric acid, HCl, is an acid that plays a key role in the digestion of protein and activating digestive enzymes in the stomach. Hydrochloric acid can be synthetically produced by bubbling hydrogen chloride gas through water. A 2.00L aqueous solution was made with 0.100 mol of HCl. What is the pH of this solution?
Can you please explain the steps, thank you!

Re: finding the pH
Calculate the Molarity (M): Molarity = moles/Liters = 0.100 moles / 2.00 L = 0.050 M.
Understand HCl Dissociation: HCl is a strong acid, meaning it completely dissociates in water into H⁺ and Cl⁻ ions. So, the concentration of H⁺ ions is the same as the concentration of HCl, which is 0.050 M.
Calculate pH: pH = -log[H⁺]. The concentration of H⁺ ions is 0.050 M. So, pH = -log(0.050).
Find the pH Value: Use a calculator to find the value of -log(0.050) to get the pH.
