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
