Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{SO}_4^{2-} \\ & {\left[\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\right]=0.005 \mathrm{M}} \\ & {\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=2 \times 0.005=0.01 \mathrm{M}} \\ & \mathrm{pH}=-\log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=-\log 0.01 \\ & \mathrm{pH}=2\end{aligned}\)
