1.	The pH of HCl solution is 2. When it is diluted with equal volume of water, what is the pH of dilute acid solution ?
Answer» Solution :Given PH of HCL solution = 2. PROTON concentration of the solution `= 10^(-pH) =10^(-2) M` When diluted with equal VOLUME of water, the proton concentration `[H^(+)]=(Vxx 10^(-2) )/(V+V) = 5 xx 10^(-3) ।pH=- LOG(5 xx 10 ^(-3)=3- log=2.3.`
