Solution

The correct option is C 4
NaCl is a salt of strong acid HCl and strong base NaOH.
Its solution is neutral.
Hence, the change in the pH of the HCl solution will only be due to the dilution.
N1V1=N2V2

The expression for hydrogen ion concentration is [H+]=0.1×11000=1×104M

The pH of the solution is pH=log[H+]=log(1×104)=4.
