Solution
The number of moles of hydrogen ions present in HCl solution =0.3L×0.05mol/L=0.015mol The number of moles of hydroxide ions present in NaOH solution =0.2L×0.05mol/L=0.010mol The number of moles of hydrogen ions remaining after neutralization 0.015mol−0.010mol=0.005mol Total volume =0.5L [H+]=0.005mol0.5L=0.01M pH=−log[H+]
