physical chemistry - What is the pH of a 5M solution of hydrochloric acid?



What is the pH of a 5 M solution of hydrochloric acid?



So in order to solve this, apparently all you need to do is plug it into the equation:



pH=log[HX3OX+]


where the concentration of HX3OX+ is 5 M. But why can we assume this? Don’t we need to create an ice table from HCl+HX2OHX3OX++ClX and use the Ka value of HCl to solve this?
