Solution of a monobasic acid has a pH = 5. If one mL of it is diluted to 1 litre, what will be the pH of the resulting solution?
A
Kc
B
Qc<Kc′
C
Qc<Kc′
D
Qc<Kc′
Answer
Qc<Kc′
Explanation
Solution
: pH=5,[H+]=10−5M
After dilution =100010−5=10−8M
Total [H+]=10−8+10−7=1.1×10−7
pH=−log[H+]=−log(1.1×10−7)=6.96
