Chapter 15, Problem 60AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of $\text{pH}$ when $0.1\text{ mL}$ of $1.0\text{ M HCl}$ is diluted to form $\text{1 L}$ solution has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The dilution formula is given as follows:

  $M_1{V}_1=M_2{V}_2$

Here,

$M_1$ denotes molarity of  initial solution before dilution.

$V_1$ denotes the volume before dilution.

$M_2$ denotes molarity of final solution after dilution.

$V_2$ denotes volume after dilution.

The expression to evaluate $\text{pH}$ is as follows:

  $\text{pH}=-\log \left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]$

Here,

$\left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]$ denotes concentration of ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ions.
