    If a 0.00001 molar solution of\[HCl\]is diluted thousand folds the pH of the resulting solution will be

    A)  5                 

    B)  7

    C)  8                 

    D)  6.98

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    : For\[0.00001\text{ }M\text{ }HCl,\text{  }\!\![\!\!\text{ }{{H}^{+}}]={{10}^{-5}}M\]. When\[HCl\]is diluted thousand fold, \[[{{H}^{+}}]={{10}^{-8}}M\] Dissociation of water, \[{{H}_{2}}O{{H}^{+}}+O{{H}^{-}}\] Conc. if no dissociation C \[{{10}^{-8}}\]     0 Cone. after dissociation\[C-x\] \[({{10}^{-8}}+x)\] \[x\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{x}^{2}}+{{10}^{-8}}x-{{10}^{-14}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=9.5\times {{10}^{-8}}\][neglecting the\[-ve\]root] \[x=[O{{H}^{-}}]=9.5\times {{10}^{-8}}mol\text{ }d{{m}^{-3}}\] \[[{{H}^{+}}]=\frac{{{K}_{w}}}{[O{{H}^{-}}]}=\frac{{{10}^{-14}}}{9.5\times {{10}^{-8}}}\] \[[{{H}^{+}}]=1.005\times {{10}^{-7}}mol\,d{{m}^{-3}}\] \[\therefore \]\[pH=-\log [{{H}^{+}}]=6.97\]
