Ionization constants of weak acids, PH of weak acids
Question

pHof 10 ml of weak monoprotic acid is 4. To increase pH of this solution by one unit the volume of water that must be added is 

Moderate
Solution

For a weak acid; pH=12pKa-12log C; For a weak acid;  pH after dilution = pH  before dilution +12logVfinalVinitial 5=4+12logVfinalVinitial Vfinal=1000ml VH2O=1000Vfinal-10Vinitial=990 ml
