MCQ
What is the $PH$ of $10^{-9}\, M$ aqueous $HCl$ solution
  • A
    $9$
  • between $6$ to $7$
  • C
    $7$
  • D
    can't determine

Answer

Correct option: B.
between $6$ to $7$
b
Given that,

$H C l=10^{-9} \,M=0.01 \times 10^{-7}$

When $HCl$ added to water the total $H ^{\text {+ }}$ ions

$H^{+} =0.01 \times 10^{-7}+10^{-7}$

$H^{+} =1.01 \times 10^{-7}$

$p H =-\log \left(1.01 \times 10^{-7}\right)$

$p H= 6.9$
