Arrange the steps for calculating the pH of a fully dissociated strong monoprotic acid solution.
Answer
Identify the acid concentration and dissociation, Set hydrogen-ion concentration equal to the acid concentration, Take the negative base-ten logarithm of hydrogen-ion concentration
Explanation
### The order
1. **Identify the acid concentration and dissociation**: determine whether the acid releases one proton per molecule and dissociates completely under the stated assumption.
2. **Set hydrogen-ion concentration equal to the acid concentration**: this follows for a fully dissociated strong monoprotic acid.
3. **Take the negative base-ten logarithm of hydrogen-ion concentration**: this applies the definition of pH.
### Remember
Find $[H^+]$ before applying the logarithm.
