An acid solution with `pH=6at 25^(@)C` is diluted by `10^(2)` times. The pH of solution will:

Options

A. decrease by 2
B. increase by 2
C. decrease by `0.95` approximately
D. increase by `0.95` appromately

Answer

D

Explanation

`[H^(+)]=10^(-6)at pH=6`
If `[H^(+)]` are diluted to `10^(2)` times, the new `[H^(+)]=10^(-8)`. Thus pH of solution will be in between 6 to 7 approximately `6.95`
