Solution

1L of 1.0 M HCL solution contain
=1molH+ + e- =>1/2H2
So 1Faraday produce 1/2 mol H2 =0.5mol H2
965*10/96500 Faraday produce = 965*10*0.5/96500
=0.05mol H2
From above equation 0.05 mol H2 contain 0.1 mol H+ ion
So H+ ion left in solution=1-0.1=0.9mol
=>therefore pH = -log[H+]=-log(0.9)= -*-0.0457
=0.0457
pH of the solution at the end of the experiment =0.0457
