Question on pH of a solution

1mL of 0.1M HCl solution is diluted 1000 times. What will be the pH of the diluted solution?


Answer:


Millimoles of HCl taken = Millimoles of H+ taken = 1mL × 0.1M = 0.1


Concentration of the diluted HCl solution = (0.1mmol / 1000mL) = 0.0001M


Concentration of H+ in diluted solution = 0.0001M


pH = -log [H+]


So, pH = -log (0.0001) = 4
