Homework Statement
There are four things to be calculated:
-pH of 0.00196M solution of HCl in water, without taking ionic strength into account,
-The same thing but taking ionic strength into account
-pH of 0.00196M solution of HCl in Na2SO4, without taking ionic strength into account,
-And the same thing but taking ionic strength into account.
Homework Equations
pH = -log([H+])
3. The Attempt at a Solution
So far I've done the first one only. HCl dissociates fully, so pH is - log10(0.00196) = 2.71.
But:
1. How to include "ionic strength" into pH calculation? I have no idea how to do it.
2. How to calculate pH of HCl in Na2SO4? How will it dissociate?
