ph is measured in terms of the activity of the H+ io. pH=-log(H+) on dilutimg the solution 5 times means increasing the volume from v to 5v let the number of mole of H+ ion be x initial pH at a volume V=-log[H+] =-log[x/v] =pH1 now on dilution new pH= -log[H+]=-log [x/5v]=pH2 change in ph =pH2 -pH1 =-log(x/5v)-(-log(x/v)) =log(x/v)-log(x/5v) =log 5 =.6989
