A) 8
B) 5
C) 6.9
D) None
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] pH of HCl solution = 5 |
\[{{[{{H}^{+}}]}_{\text{initial}}}={{10}^{-5}}\] |
\[{{[{{H}^{+}}]}_{\text{initial}}}\times {{V}_{1}}={{[{{H}^{+}}]}_{\text{final}}}\times {{V}_{2}}\] |
\[{{[{{H}^{+}}]}_{\text{final}}}\times {{10}^{-8}}\] |
Let the \[{{H}^{+}}\] from water be x. |
\[{{H}_{2}}O\rightleftharpoons \underset{x+{{10}^{-8}}}{\mathop{{{H}^{+}}}}\,+\underset{x}{\mathop{O{{H}^{-}}}}\,\] |
\[x(x+{{10}^{-8}})={{10}^{-14}}\] |
\[{{x}^{2}}+{{10}^{-8}}-{{10}^{-14}}=0\] |
\[x=\frac{-{{10}^{-8}}\pm \sqrt{{{10}^{-16}}=4\times {{10}^{-14}}}}{2}\] |
\[\Rightarrow \] \[x=\frac{-{{10}^{-8}}+{{10}^{-8}}\sqrt{401}}{2}=19\times {{10}^{-8}}=9.5\times {{10}^{-8}}\] |
\[{{[{{H}^{+}}]}_{\text{Total}}}={{[{{H}^{+}}]}_{\text{HCl}}}+{{[{{H}^{+}}]}_{\text{Water}}}\] |
\[={{10}^{-8}}+{{10}^{-8}}\times 9.5=10.5\times {{10}^{-8}}\] |
\[pH=8-\log \,10.5\] |
Slightly less then 7 Hence [c]. |
