Calculate the pH of a 1.7 M solution of KCl.

Answer 1

pH of 1.7 M KCl is 7.00

KCl is a neutral salt.

KCl ====> K⁺. + Cl^-

Both K⁺ and Cl^- are neutral ions and do not react with water.

Therefore, pH of KCl solution has to be the pH of pure water, 7.00

Answer 2

KCl is a salt resulting from the reaction of a strong acid (HCl) with a strong base (KOH). This type of salt should have a pH of 7.0 (neutral).
