......\(L\) litres of water must be added to \(1\, litre\) an aqueous solution of \(HCl\) with a \(pH\) of \(1\) to create an aqueous solution with \(pH\) of \(2\) ?

  1. A \(0.1\)
  2. B \(0.9\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As \(p H=1 ; H^{+}=10^{-1}=0.1 \,M\) \(p H=2 ; H^{+}=10^{-2}=0.01\, M\) \(\therefore M_{1}=0.1 ; V_{1}=1\) \(M_{2}=0.01; V_{2}=?\) From \(M_{1} V_{1}=M_{2} V_{2} ; 0.1 \times 1=0.01 \times V_{2}\) \(V_{2}=10\) litre volume of water added \(=10-1=9\) litre.
