AIPMT PRELIMS 2006 Chemistry Ionic Equilibrium MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

The hydrogen ion concentration of a 10⁻⁸ M HCl aqueous solution at 298 K (Kw = 10⁻¹⁴) is:

A

1.0525 × 10⁻⁶ M

B

1.0525 × 10⁻⁷ M

C

8.525 × 10⁻⁸ M

D

1.0525 × 10⁻⁸ M

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

In very dilute solutions, the contribution of H⁺ from water must be considered. Total [H⁺] = 10⁻⁸ + √(10⁻¹⁴) = 1.0525 × 10⁻⁷ M.
