Aqueous Solutions
How do we know ions are
present in aqueous
solutions?
The solutions conduct
electricity!
They are called
ELECTROLYTES
HCl, CuCl2, and NaCl are
strong electrolytes.
They dissociate completely
(or nearly so) into ions.

pH Scale
@ -2 -----> @ +16
pH = - log [H3O+]
[H3O+] = -antilog pH = 10-pH
For log problems, only decimal places are
significant, and all decimal places count

Example: What is the pH of a 1.0 M
solution of HCl?
pH = - log [H3O+]
[H3O+] = MHCl = 1.0 M
• because it is a strong electrolyte
pH = -log(1.0) = 0.00
