    The pH of \[1\times {{10}^{-8}}\]M HCl solution is close to

    A) 8.0         

    B) 7.1    

    C) 6.9                         

    D) 6.0

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[[{{H}^{+}}]={{10}^{-8}}M\](from HCl dissociation) \[+{{10}^{-7}}M\](from \[{{H}_{2}}O\] dissociation) \[=1.1\times {{10}^{-7}}\] \[\therefore \]\[pH=-\log [{{H}^{+}}]\] \[=-\log (1.1\times {{10}^{-7}})\simeq 6.9\]
