A solution contains 0.05 M hydrobromic acid (HBr). The equilibrium constant is pK, = -8.7. a. What is the K.? (Hint: See equation 5-34 on page 230 in the Davis textbook.) b. Why is this a strong acid? (Hint: Consult the chemistry flowchart in the lecture slides.) c. As a strong acid, we can assume that the HBr completely dissociates into H* and Br and we do not need to consider the K.. What is the pH of the solution at equilibrium?
