100 mL of a solution with pH = 6 is diluted to 1000 mL by adding water. pH will
Options
- Adecrease by 0.7 unit
- Bincrease by 1 unit
- Cincrease by 9 units
- Dincrease by 0.7 unit
Correct answer
D. increase by 0.7 unit
Step-by-step solution
pH = 6 [ H + ] = 1 0 - 6 M 100 × 1 0 - 6 = M × 1000 or M = 1 0 - 7 [ H + ] already present in water = 1 0 - 7 Total [ H + ] = 1 0 - 7 + 1 0 - 7 = 2 × 1 0 - 7 p H = - l o g 2 × 1 0 - 7 = 7 - l o g 2 p H = 7 - 0.3010 = 6.7
