Molarity of HCl = 1 M
Volume of HCl = 30 mL = 30/1000 L = 0.03 L
Number of moles of HCl = Molarity * Volume = 1M * 0.03L = 0.03 mol

Now after addinng 200 mL of water, Volume becomes = 30mL+ 200 mL
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 230 mL = 230/1000 L = 0.23 L

So,
New Molarity of HCl = number of moles / new Volume
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 0.03 / 0.23
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â =0.13 M

[H+] = 0.13 M
pH = -log [H+]
Â Â = - log (0.13)
Â Â = 0.88

Answer: 0.88
