Correct option: (c) 0.7
Explanation:
On dilution,
N1V1 = N2V2
10–6 x 100 = N2 x 1000
N2 = 10–7 N
Since acid solution has pH < 7, it will remain acidic even after dilution,
Hence, total [H+] = [H+]acid + [H+]water
= 10–7 + 10–7 = 2 x 10–7 N
∴ pH = – log [H+] = – log (2 x 10–7) = 7 – log 2
= 6.7
Thus, change in pH = 0.7 unit
