Question

The pH of 10-8 M solution of HCl in water is :

Options

A.8
B.- 8
C.between 7 and 8
D.between 6 and 7

Solution

H2O ⇋   H+ + OH-
      (10-8 + a)    a
a is the concentration of [H+] furnished by the dissociation of H2O.
   Kw = [H+][OH-]
   10-14 = (10-8 + a)(a)
    a = 0.95 × 10-7
     [H+] = 10-8 + 0.95 × 10-7
       = 1.05 × 10-7
    pH = - log10 1.05 × 10-7
        = 6.9788
