3.0

C

3.3

D

2.0

Correct Option: A

H2SO4 is a strong acid and dissociates completely in water. Each molecule yields two H+ ions.

  1. Calculate the concentration of H+ ions: 0.001 mol/dm³ * 2 = 0.002 mol/dm³.
  2. Calculate pH: pH = -log10[H+] = -log10(2 x 10-3) = -(log102 + log1010-3) = -(0.3 - 3) = 2.7
