Explain the question :

Find the pH of an HCl solution after dilution with NaCl

Concept :
This question is based on The problem involves the dilution of a strong acid and the
subsequent calculation. of PH from the final H+ concentration.

Solution :-
First , we calculate the initial milliequivalents (mEq) of H+ ions from the strong acid, HCl.
The number of mEq is the product of normality and volume in mL mEq HCl = 0.1 N × 10mL
= 1mEq.
The NaCl solution is neutral and does not contribute to the acidity or basicity : it only acts as a
diluent.
The total volume of the final mixture is 10 mL + 990mL .
The final concentration (normality ) of H+ in the solution is the total mEq divided by the total
volume :

[H+]final = for a monoprotic acid like HCl, normality is equal to molarity so

+ –3
[H ] = 10 M.
The pH is calculated as pH = log[H+] = – log (10–3) = 3

54) Put x = 1, we get f(2) = 2f(1)

Put x = 2, we get f(3) = 3f(1)
Similarly f(n) = nf(1)

⇒ ⇒ n = 10
