First, we calculate of the concentration of the H+ ions in the solution from the pH given. Then, calculate the new concentration after dilution. Calculation are as follows:
pH = -log[H+]
5 = -log[H+]
[H+] = 1 x 10^-5 M
M1V1 = M2V2
<span>1 x 10^-5 M (V1) = M2(100V1)
</span>M2 = 1 x 10^-7
pH = -log[<span>1 x 10^-7</span>]
pH = 7
The answer is C.
The vast difference in electronegativity of the oxygen and hydrogen in water, the O-H bond is polar.
