How many litres of water must be added to 1 litre of an aqueous solution of HCl with a pH of 1 to create an aqueous solution with pH of 2?
A 0.1 L
B 0.9 L
C 2.0 L
D 9.0 L
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution
As
pH=1;H+=10−1=0.1M pH=2;H+=10−2=0.01M ∴
M1=0.1V1=1; M2=0.01V2=? From
M1V1=M2V2;0.1×1=0.01×V2 litre ∴ volume of water added
=10−1=9 litre.
