    pH of an aqueous solution containing \[{{10}^{-8}}mol/L\]of \[HCl\]is

    A)  8             

    B)  10

    C)  6.96                                     

    D)  12

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     If the concentration of acid is less than \[{{10}^{-7}},\] then the concentration of \[{{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}}\]present in water is not neglected. Total \[[{{H}^{+}}]=[{{H}^{+}}]\]from \[HCl+[{{H}^{+}}]\]\[{{H}_{2}}O\] \[={{10}^{-8}}+{{10}^{-7}}\] \[={{10}^{-7}}(1.1)\] \[=1.1\times {{10}^{-7}}\,\text{mol/L}\] \[pH=-\log [{{H}^{+}}]\] \[=-\log (1.1\,\times \,{{10}^{-7}})\] \[=6.96\]
