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.
