Question
Chapter 1, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The pH of the resultant HCl solution needs to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
When a solution is diluted, the molarity of solution changes according to the dilution law which is mathematically represented as follows:
Here,
A strong acid dissociates completely into hydrogen ion and conjugate base as follows:
Thus, the concentration of hydrogen ion will be same as that of acid.
From the hydrogen ion concentration, the pH of the solution can be calculated as follows:
Here,
