What is the ph of 0.36M HNO3 ?

0.44

Explanation:

We know that the pH of any acid solution is given by the negative logarithm of its hydrogen ion concentration. Hence, if I can obtain the hydrogen ion concentration of any acid, I can obtain its pH.

For the acid, HNO3, [H^+] = [NO3^-]= 0.36 M

pH= -log [H^+]

pH= - log[0.36]

pH= 0.44

Yes, free electrons appear in balanced redox reaction equations. However, this is only true for half-reactions. This is because redox reactions primarily involve the transfer of electrons, which are better visualized if explicitly shown in the balanced reactions. In reduction reactions, electrons are placed on the left side of the equation. Oxidation reactions show electrons on the right side of the equation.

*Note: Overall redox reactions do not show free electrons because they cancel each other out from both sides of the half-reaction equations.
