An acid solution of pH = 6 is diluted hundred times. The pH the solution becomes :

A.6.95✓ Correct

B.6

C.4

D.8

Explanation

When an acid solution is diluted 100 times its H becomes th 1 100 of the original H [H+] 6 10 M . After dilution 8 H 10 M . By calculation pH = 8 However, pH of an acid solution cannot be greater than 7. Therefore, the answer is 6.95.
