MCQ
${10^{ - 6}}\,M\,\,HCl$ is diluted to $100$  times. Its $pH$ is
  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $8$
  • $6.95$
  • D
    $9.5$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$6.95$
(c) ${10^{ - 6}}\,M\,HCl = {10^{ - 8}}M\,[{H^ + }]$. Also from ${H_2}O$

$[{H^ + }] = {10^{ - 7}}\,M$

Total $[{H^ + }] = {10^{ - 7}} + {10^{ - 8}} = {10^{ - 7}}[1 + 0.1]$$ = {10^{ - 7}}[1.1]$

Hence $pH = 7 - 0.0414 = 6.96$.
