MCQ
What will be the $pH$ of a ${10^{ - 8}}\,M\,HCl$ solution
  • A
    $8$
  • B
    $7$
  • $6.958$
  • D
    $14.04$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$6.958$
(c) ${H_2}O⇌[{H^ + }]\,\,[O{H^ - }]$

$HCl\,  ⇌ \,[{H^ + }]\,\,[C{l^ - }]$

Total $[{H^ + }] = {[{H^ + }]_{{H_2}O}} + {[{H^ + }]_{HCl}}$ $ = {10^{ - 7}} + {10^{ - 8}}$

$ = {10^{ - 7}}[1 + {10^{ - 1}}]$

$[{H^ + }] = {10^{ - 7}} \times \frac{{11}}{{10}}$

$pH=-\log \,[{{H}^{+}}]=-\log \left( {{10}^{-7}}+\frac{11}{10} \right)$   $pH=6.958$
