    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 H4 present in water is not neglected. Total\[[{{H}^{+}}]=[{{H}^{+}}]\]from\[HCl+[{{H}^{+}}]\]from\[{{H}_{2}}O\]                 \[={{10}^{-8}}+{{10}^{-7}}\]                 \[={{10}^{-7}}(1.1)\]                 \[=1.1\times {{10}^{-7}}mol/L\]                 \[pH=-\log [{{H}^{+}}]\]                 \[=-\log (1.1\times {{10}^{-7}})\]                 \[=6.96\]
