When water is added to HCl, will the pH of HCl increase?

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

pH will decrease

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

This is because the concentration of Hydrogen will increase pH = -log[H]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the pH of the solution will decrease since the concentration of H+ decrease~ pH is the measure of the concentration in the solution~

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

When I say hydrogen I mean H+

OpenStudy (xishem):

No. The pH will increase.

OpenStudy (xishem):

You are adding water (pH 7) to HCl (pH <7).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HCl+ water is the dilution of hydrochloric acid~ there's no way that a dilution will increase the pH of a solution~
