6B.1) The molar concentration of HCl in hydrochloric acid is reduced to 12% of its initial value by dilution. What is the difference in the pH values of the two solutions?
Can someone please walk me through how to solve this question?

Re: Bookwork 6B #1
The diluted solution is 12% the strength of the original solution. In other words, the molarity of hydronium ions is 12% of the original solution. The pH scale is the -log([H3O+]). Therefore, you would calculate -log(0.12) to receive a change in pH of 0.92.
