Acid base equilibria
I just finished learning how to find either pH of strong acid or concentration of H+ ions. However I'm stuck on a question.
Calculate the pH of the solution formed when 250 cm3 of water is added to 50cm3 of 0.200 moldm-3 HNO3.
I worked out the new H+ concentration to be 0.0333moldm-3.

Looks good so far.

300/1000 * [H+] = 50/1000 x 0.200
[H+] = 0.0333 moldm-3 (monoprotic acid so no need to multiply anything?)
pH = -log10(0.0333)
= 1.48
Does this look right? I'm not confident I got the concentration bit right
That's what i got too.
Your method looks fine.
