    The pH of a \[{{10}^{-8}}\] molar solution of \[HCl\]in water  is

    A)  \[8\]             

    B)  \[-8\]

    C)  between \[7\] and \[8\]

    D)  between \[6\] and \[7\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{10}^{-8}}M\,HCl\] \[M=N\]of \[HCl\]                 So,          \[[{{H}^{+}}]=10\times {{10}^{-8}}\]                                 \[pH=-\log [{{H}^{+}}]\]                                 \[pH=-\log {{10}^{-8}}\]                                 \[pH=8\]                 So           \[[{{H}^{+}}]=1\times {{10}^{-8}}\] This is wrong answer because pH value of acid less than 7 so right pH value calculate as follows Total \[[{{H}^{+}}]\] in \[HCl=1\times {{10}^{-8}}m/L\] Total \[[{{H}^{+}}]\] in \[{{H}_{2}}O=1\times {{10}^{-7}}m/L\] Total \[[{{H}^{+}}]=1\times {{10}^{-7}}+0.1\times {{10}^{-7}}=1.1\times {{10}^{-7}}\] \[[{{H}^{+}}]=1\times {{10}^{-7}}+0.1\times {{10}^{-7}}=1.1\times {{10}^{-7}}\] \[[{{H}^{+}}]=11\times {{10}^{-8}}\] \[pH=-\log (11\times {{10}^{-8}})\] \[pH=-\log 11+8\log 10\] \[pH=-1.0414+8\] \[pH=6.958\]
