Calculate pH of 0.01 M HCI solution.

Explanation

To calculate the pH of a 0.01 M HCl solution, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the nature of HCl
HCl (hydrochloric acid) is a strong acid, which means it completely dissociates in water. Therefore, the concentration of hydrogen ions [H⁺] in the solution will be equal to the concentration of the HCl solution.

### Step 2: Identify the concentration of H⁺ ions
Given that the concentration of HCl is 0.01 M, the concentration of H⁺ ions will also be 0.01 M because HCl dissociates completely:
\[ \text{[H⁺]} = 0.01 \, \text{M} \]
