Explanation / Answer

Q1)

the pH of 0.78M HCl solution

pH = -log [H+]

= - log 0.78

=0.11

Q2) Sample A

1mL x 0.78M = 25 XMa

M of Sample A = 0.0312 M

HCL --------------> H+ + Cl- (strong acid , dissociates completely)

Thus [H+] = 0.0312M

[Cl-] 0.0312M

and pH = -log 0.0312

=1.506

Q3) sample B

1mL x 0.0312 M = 25mL x Mb

M of solution B = 0.00125 M

thus [H+] = 1.25x10-3 M

[Cl-] = 1.25x10-3M

and pH = -log 1.25x10-3M

=2.903

Q4) Sample C

1mL x 1.25x10-3M = 25 x Mc

molarity of sample C = 4.992x10-5 M

Thus

[H+] =4.992x10-5 M

[Cl-] = 4.992x10-5 M

and

pH = -log 4.992x10-5 M

=4.3017

Q5) sample D

1mL x 4.992x10-5 M = 25mL x Md

molarity of sample D = 1.997x 10-6 M

Thus

[H+] = 1.997x 10-6 M

[Cl-] = 1.997x 10-6 M

and

pH = -log 1.997x 10-6 M

=5.699

Q6) Sample E

1mL x 1.997x 10-6 M = 25mL x Me

molarity of sample E = 7.99x10-8 M

Now the solution is so dilute that the [H+] is less than the [H=] fro autoionisation of water.

Thus the [H+] in solution = 7.99x10-8 M + 1.0x10-7M

= 1.799 x10-7 M

and [Cl-] = 7.99x10-8 M  

pH = -log 1.799x10-7 M

=6.7449
