The `pH` of `10^(-8)` molar aqueous solution of `HCl` is

Options

A. `-8`
B. 8
C. ` 6 gt 7` (Between 6 and 7)
D. ` 7 gt 8` (Between 7 and 8 )

Answer

C

Explanation

As the solution is acidic , `pH lt 7` . This is because `[H^(+)] ` from `H_(2)O [10^(-7)] ` cannot be neglected in comparison to `10^(-8)`
