Initial no. of moles of HCl = No. of moles of HCl in the resultant solution
M₁V₁ = M₂ V₂
(0.10 M) × (10.0 mL) = M₂ × (999 + 10.0 mL)
M₂ = 0.1 × (10.0/1000) = 0.0010 M
1 mole of HCl dissociates to give 1 mole of H⁺ ions.
In the resultant solution, [H⁺] = [HCl] = 0.0010 M
pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(0.0010) = 3.0

Isn’t that amazing — dilution, adding water, makes the pH bigger!! (Better see why!)

M1V1 = M2V2
M1 = 0.10
V1 = 10 mL
V2 = 1000 Ml
Solve for M2
Answer: 0.0001 M
