    The pH of \[{{10}^{-8}}HCl\]solution is

    A)  8               

    B)  6.9586

    C)  more than 8      

    D)  slightly more than 7

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    : The neutral water has \[[{{H}^{+}}]=1\times {{10}^{-7}}M\] By add in\[1.0\times {{10}^{-8}}M\text{ }HCl\], a concentration of \[1.0\times {{10}^{-8}}M\,HCl\]ions has increased in solution. Thus, total \[[{{H}^{+}}]=(1\times {{10}^{-7}}+1\times {{10}^{-8}})M\] \[=(1\times {{10}^{-7}}+0.1\times {{10}^{-7}})M\] \[=1.1\times {{10}^{-7}}M\] \[pH=-\log (1.1\times {{10}^{-7}})=-log[1.1+log{{10}^{-7}}]\] \[=-[0.0414-7.0]\] \[=6.9586\]
