How much hydrochloric do I add to 150 mL of water to adjust pH by 1 level?

It can be of 0.1 or 0.5 or 1.0 mol
I am clueless on how to figure this out
On the other side, how much NaOH do I add to the same amount of water to adjust pH by one level?
更新1:

To clarify; this is not a homework question, I am writing a procedure for science fair and need to be able to accurately adjust the pH of water samples. If you don't want to give me a straight answer, fine, you could explain the concepts a little so I can at least come to the conclusion myself. If you don't want to provide any help, then kindly stop wasting both our times. Thank you very much.

✔ 最佳答案
The amount of acid/base needed to adjust pH by 1 level depends of the initial pH of the water/solution.

Suppose the pH of the water is 7, and the change of volume of water/solution is negligible on addition of HCl or NaOH.
Initial [H⁺] = 1 × 10⁻⁷ M

When HCl is added, it changes from pH7 to pH6.
Final [H⁺] = 1 × 10⁻⁶ M
Increase in [H⁺] = [(1 × 10⁻⁶) - (1 × 10⁻⁷)] = 9 × 10⁻⁷ M
Moles of H⁺ needed = (9 × 10⁻⁷ mol/L) × (150/1000 L) = 1.35 × 10⁻⁷ mol
Moles of HCl needed = 1.35 × 10⁻⁷ mol

When NaOH is added, it changes from pH7 to pH8.
Final pOH = 14 - 8 = 6
Final [OH⁻] = 1 × 10⁻⁶ M
Increase in [OH⁻] = [(1 × 10⁻⁶) - (1 × 10⁻⁷)] = 9 × 10⁻⁷ M
Moles of OH⁻ needed = (9 × 10⁻⁷ mol/L) × (150/1000 L) = 1.35 × 10⁻⁷ mol
Moles of NaOH needed = 1.35 × 10⁻⁷ mol

You add as much as need to reach the desired effect. I really don't like to help people cheat on their coursework.
