Equilibrium Question 893

Question: pH of an aqueous solution of HCl is 5. if 1 c.c. of this solution is diluted to 1000 times. The pH will become

Options:

A) 8

B) 5

C) 6.9

D) None

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

pH of HCl solution = 5 [H+]initial=105

[H+]initial×V1=[H+]final×V2

[H+]final×108

Let the H+ from water be x. H2OH+x+108,+OHx,

x(x+108)=1014

x2+1081014=0

x=108±1016=4×10142

x=108+1084012=19×108=9.5×108

[H+]Total=[H+]HCl+[H+]Water

=108+108×9.5=10.5×108

pH=8log,10.5

Slightly less then 7 Hence [c].
