Question

10 mL of 10-6 M HCI solution is mixed with 90 mL H2O. pH will change approximately:

Options

A.By one unit
B.By 0.3 unit
C.By 0.7 unit
D.By 0.1 unit

Solution

pH of 10-6 M HCI = 6; on dilution    [HCI] = = 10-7
Thus new pH of HCI is not 7 because it is acid. For new solution pH:
[H+] = 10-7 + 10-7 (from H2O) = 2 × 10-7     ∴ pH = 6.7
                               (approximately)
