Answer #1

H2SO4 = 2 H+(aq) + SO42- (aq)

H+ = 2 * H2SO4 ( H2SO4 is strong acid but it is not 100% dissociable but we calculate some times consider it as an completely dissociable)

= 2 * 0.05 = 0.1

pH = - log ( H+)

= - log ( 0.1 )

= 1.00

Therefor on considering 100% dissociable we get pH = 1

When it is not completely dissociable we get less number of hydrogen ions so our pH will be slightly greater than 1.
