A solution has `10^(-2) M` hydrogen ions in it. The solution is diluted by `100` times. The `pH of the solution is

A

2

B

4

C

7

D

3

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

B

`[H^(+)]=10^(-2)`
It is diluted by 100 times `:.[H^(+)]=10^(-4)`
`P^(H)=log_(10)[H^(+)]=-log_(10)10^(-4):.P^(H)=4`
