A solution has pH = 5, it is diluted 100 times, then it will become ………(a) Neutral (b) Basic (c) unaffected (d) more acidic

Answer»

(a) Neutral

pH = 5 means [H+] = 10-5

After dilution [H+] = 10-5 / 100 = 10-7 M

[H+] from H2O cannot be neglected. 

Total [H+] = 10-7 + 10-7 = 2 x 10-7 

pH = 7 – 0.3010 = 6.6990 = 7 

pH = 7 (Neutral)
