pH of very dilute acids


From doing some research on the site I have found that many people have posted about solutions of HCl where [HCl]=1108 moldm3



Here they are able to deduce


[HX+]=[HCl]02+[HCl]204+Kw


where [HCl]0 is the initial concentration of HCl dissolved.


Can we make a generalisation of this and say if HXxA is a strong acid that will dissociate fully when dissolved in water? Then if [HXxA]0<Kw then the pH of solution can be expressed by


pH=log10(x[HXxA]02+(x[HXxA]0)24+Kw)

I have a question about matched filtering. Does the matched filter maximise the SNR at the moment of decision only? As far as I understand, ...
