1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
If a solution containing a heavy concentration of hydrogen ions(i.e., a strong
acid) is diluted with an equal volume of water, by approximately how much is its
pH changed? (Express (pH)diluted in terms of (pH)original.)
2. Relevant equations
I think the question requires the equation defining pH:
[itex]pH = \log[H+][/itex]
3. The attempt at a solution
According to the document, the answer is supposed to be:
[itex]pH_{dilute} = pH_{original} + \log 2[/itex]
