1. Calculate the moles of HCl
* Convert pressure to atmospheres: 747 mmHg * (1 atm / 760 mmHg) = 0.983 atm
* Convert temperature to Kelvin: 26.5 °C + 273.15 = 299.65 K
* Use the ideal gas law: PV = nRT
* n = (PV) / (RT)
* n = (0.983 atm * 0.535 L) / (0.0821 L*atm/mol*K * 299.65 K) = 0.0214 moles HCl
2. Calculate the molarity of the HCl solution
* Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution
* M = 0.0214 moles / 0.625 L = 0.0342 M
3. Calculate the pH
* HCl is a strong acid, so it completely dissociates in water. This means the concentration of H+ ions is equal to the concentration of HCl.
* pH = -log[H+]
* pH = -log(0.0342) = 1.47
Therefore, the pH of the HCl solution is approximately 1.47.
