  • Calculating HCl Concentration from pH: A Step-by-Step Guide
    To calculate the concentration of HCl in a solution with a pH of 1.5, we can use the formula:

    ```

    [H3O+] = 10^(-pH)

    ```

    where [H3O+] is the concentration of hydrogen ions in moles per liter (M).

    In this case, the pH is 1.5, so:

    ```

    [H3O+] = 10^(-1.5) = 0.0316 M

    ```

    Since HCl is a strong acid, it completely dissociates in water, releasing H+ and Cl- ions. Therefore, the concentration of HCl in the solution is also 0.0316 M.
